Something is amiss. IIRC, BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NARROW_ONLY should only be 
defined for GCC on Windows/Cygwin, which doesn't have wide character 
support. Don't all modern versions of GCC on Linux support wide characters?

Could you please check to see if BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NARROW_ONLY really is 
being defined?

Thanks,
