What character set is filepath, and what charset is the native 
filesystem? Note that using narrow char* to store these is inherently 
lossy, and you should probably be using char16_t*/WCHAR* for these so 
that you don't run into issues with unicode repertoire: then you'd be 
using NS_NewLocalFile not NS_NewNativeLocalFile.
