First one tip to understand win32pdh error codes : 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/perfmon/base/pdh_error_codes.asp
-2147481645 ---> in hex = 0x800007D3. "The data item has been added to the query but has not been validated nor 
accessed. No other status information on this data item is available."
Of course here, it's not very useful...

> I guess it might be permissions error but cannot find out which one ...

I don't think it's permissions because pdh interface allow simple user to 
gather information. I think it's more a problem with the creation of you 
counter. If you can paste how you get the counterpath and how you add it 
it would be helpful.

> Any help will be highly appreciated .

I'll try to be better next time ;).
