Re: FSSpec from NSString Problems

An example of an NSString returned by by NSSavePanel would be:
/Users/jsick/Movies/myMovie.mov

So when I do:
OSStatus status = FSPathMakeRef((unsigned const char *)[inPath
fileSystemRepresentation],&fsref, NULL);

The FSPathMakeRef returns an OSStatus value of -43. I'm not familiar at
all with OSStatus definitions. I did a search on Apple's site, but 
couldn't find any info on a -43 error. Any pointers to documentation on
this error?
