It's certainly possible that there is a bug in Haiku that prevents this
from working. To check that, you could see how Tracker queries behave
over more than one volume. If those are working, the problem is
obviously on your side of things. If you cannot find the culprit
yourself, posting the code would be helpful, then.

We indeed prefer to return useful error codes, not only the ones
mentioned in the BeBook. You should rarely have the need to check for a
specific error code (besides B_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND, maybe) - usually, code
is broken when it does that.
You can use the "error" command with that number, and should get the
clear text error back (when there is one defined).
Bye,
Axel.
