It would help to clarify for us the following: Does the decision path ever make it to the first portion of read code? If it does, we would want to figure out why the file isn't being read. But if it does not, we would want to find out why the file is failing to open for reading.

Also, you said you can write to the file but not read from it. Have you verified that the file has been written to? Once it's been written to, does your second sysopen(....O_RDONLY) die? Help us to understand where the problem is occurring. It's possible that once you've made that determination for us, you will spot the problem yourself anyway. :)
