Did you read the doc? Mine says,
"To extend this limit to 32,767 wide characters, call the Unicode version of the function
and prepend "\\?\" to the path"

So, looks to me like you've got the wrong string prepended and you need to be sure your
string is unicode and you're calling the W version of the API.
