When I do this, I get the following exception:
boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator constructor
Are you using Boost 1.34? If not, it might be worth trying. If I'm right about the exception you're getting, I believe it's been eliminated in 1.34. If you're locked into a previous version of Boost, try passing boost::filesystem::no_check instead of boost::filesystem::native.
