Due to the way the debug_printf are located in fhandler_base::open (PTC),
more information is displayed in case of success than in case of failure.
So it would be interesting to rerun strace after touching the file.
Doing a strace .... | fgrep NtCreateFile 
should already give most of the useful info.

Also, is 0x601 the only combination that fails?
