1007 is SCF_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.  I think I see a bug in
_scf_set_annotation() which would cause this.  Namely, line 6958 of
lowlevel.c is comparing copied to sizeof (request.rpr_operation) =
REP_PROTOCOL_NAME_LEN = 120 bytes, when it should be comparing to
sizeof (request.rpr_file), which is MAXPATHLEN long.  If I'm right, then
you should be able to work around this by using a workspace with
a shorter path.
