Ok, #1...you might want to fix your commenting.  It's not kosher for C code
(nested commenting.)

 JS>    OPEN_ACTION_FAIL_IF_NEW       ; // 0x0000  /* -+-- -+-- 0000
 JS> -+-- */ // OPEN_ACTION_CREATE_IF_NEW     | // 0x0010  /* -+--
 JS> -+-- 0001 -+-- */

It's failing because the file does not already exist, and because you told it
that if the file does not already exist, that the function should fail.

However, I'm not positive, as I can't see your file directory.  But, this would
be a reasonable assumption to make.
