The "real" solution here is to implement serialization for
"native_file_string()

So that things look like

template<class Archive>
void serialize(
        Archive &ar, 
        boost::filesystem::native_files_sting_type & t, 
        unsigned int version
){
        ... ?;
}

template<class Archive>
void serialize(
        Archive &ar, 
        boost::filesystem::path & t, 
        unsigned int version
){
        ar & make_nvp("PathString", t);
}
