Yup, and I can reproduce that here on my system, thanks.
It seems the subtlety is rooted here:

This code is correct, and it looks like it's necessary to do
path_to_fshandle on the file system root, otherwise it does not satisfy
the precondition of open_by_handle().
So what I was doing:
path_to_fshandle("/mnt/disk1/test-file" ... );
...
path_to_handle("/mnt/disk1/test-file" ... );
even though it reports the expected success (and returns the right file
handles), is not enough to allow open_by_handle() to work on a file.
It does leave me needing to have prior knowledge of the mounted filesystem
root (or look it up); handle_to_fshandle() doesn't achieve the same.
Definitely some oddities here -- but now I have enough to get me started
though I hope.
Thanks for all the help, and perhaps I can look at some patches to the man
page as I go.
Thanks
