The full path was thought to be the problem -- Andrew pinpointed to that
as a source of warnings in our other products. I am not sure if that is
the problem; we have marked these warnings as non-critical and moved
along for now without fully investigating it. Your using of /Fd with a
relative path would surely help.

Good to know that. I am sure that this information would help us in
refining our own infrastructure.
Thanks!
