I think the "parent" part is when you want to use a BDirectory. You
don't need that if your whole path is a string. So just use
BFile("../MessageStore", B_READ_WRITE). Also note our path separators
are /, not \, and if you want to use an \ in a string you have to
write \\ because \ is an escaping character, as in \n (newline) and \t
(tabulation).
