I'm guessing it may be a case sensitivity problem. You could try
prepending 'win:...' (a guestfish-specific hack for Windows) in front
of the path, as described in the manual:
http://libguestfs.org/guestfish.1.html#windows-paths
For example:
> <fs> ls "/program files/windows nt/accessories"
libguestfs: error: ls0: opendir: /program files/windows nt/accessories: No such file or
directory
> <fs> ls "win:/program files/windows nt/accessories"
mswrd6.wpc
mswrd8.wpc
wordpad.exe
write.wpc
> <fs> set-trace true
> <fs> ls "win:/program files/windows nt/accessories"
libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path "/program files/windows nt/accessories"
libguestfs: trace: case_sensitive_path = "/Program Files/Windows
NT/Accessories"
libguestfs: trace: ls "/Program Files/Windows NT/Accessories"
libguestfs: trace: ls0 "/Program Files/Windows NT/Accessories"
"/tmp/libguestfse0H7nF/ls10"
libguestfs: trace: ls0 = 0
libguestfs: trace: ls = ["mswrd6.wpc", "mswrd8.wpc",
"wordpad.exe", "write.wpc"]
mswrd6.wpc
mswrd8.wpc
wordpad.exe
write.wpc
(notice the extra call to case_sensitive_path in the trace).
In "/Program Files" it works fine for me, too. I still can't access
"/Users/Owner/My Documents"
Aha!! I found the problem. In Windows 7, "My Documents" is a link
to "Documents". Apparently guestfish can't follow links. I can
list "/Users/Owner/Documents" just fine. The space was a red
herring -- I can list "/Users/Owner/Saved Games" just fine, too.
Thanks for the response. It got me looking at what was different
between the directories that worked and those that didn't.
