First, let me thank you for an incredibly prompt reply.

I have to reply with ENOENT (not -ENOENT), since the return type is 
unsigned.

I have tried that, and it still produces exactly the same result.

Well, your comment just made me take another look at that block of code 
(and I have already looked at it 1e99 times) and it turns out I was 
forgetting to set the write size to sizeof(reply.coda_create). I think 
that bit was missing because I had a nut loose on my keyboard.

Thankyou very much!
