CeFindFirstFile, RAPI, and Windows Mobile 5

I have some old code that I use to query files and directories on a
Pocket PC using the RAPI CeFindFirstFile/CeFindNextFile functions.
But, the code no longer works with Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.

The first call to CeFindFirstFile() returns CE_FIND_DATA.
dwFileAttributes = 0x14 (which is FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM |
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY) and CE_FIND_DATA.cFileName = "". The next
call to CeFindNextFile() returns false.

Anybody else having this problem?

Thanks!

More info...

This appears to be specific to the O2 XDA EXEC PDA running Windows
Mobile 5. Any CeFindFirstFIle() call will return cFileName = "" and
dwFileAttributes = 0x14. Further any CeFindNextFile() call will return
0 with CeGetLastError() of ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES. So, I can never parse
more than a single, no named, file on this device.

Here are the calls I'm making which return success with cFileName = ""
and dwFileAttributes = 0x14

CeFindFirstFile(L"\\*", &FindData);
CeFindFirstFile(L"\\Windows\\*", &FindData);
CeFindFirstFile(L"\\Temp\\*", &FindData);

Any ideas? Could there be some RAPI security setup going on here?
Strange.

Strange, I have just tried it against SmartPhone device with RAPI security
Turned on and I enumerated more then 1 file. Can you post the code you use
for the enumeration?
