What version of boost are you using?

According to
<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/filesystem/doc/reference.html#basic_path-observers>,
for 1.35 you should be using external_file_string():

    "Returns: The stored path, formatted according to the operating
    system rules for regular file pathnames, with any Filename
    conversion applied, and encoded by the Traits::to_external
    conversion function."
