You've done the right things, it's not translated because there's no
translation for that text :)

If you were remove the ", reason" from your text and give the
traditional "cannot open file: %s\n", it'll likely be translated
because that text is already in the SUNW_OST_OSCMD catalog.  I'd like
you to do that anyway, because it's the common way to format those
messages.
