I did try that, but without success. The problem with it is the huge 
amount of raw data, coupled with an uncertainty about which piece of the 
system is actually encountering the error and what operation it was 
trying to perform on the file. Now that I know the offending file path, 
I could probably go back and figure out what filtering would have 
yielded the information, but at the moment I'm not sure what that would 
achieve.
