CentOS - May 2012 - Logging file activity

On windows I use filemon, it tells me every file operation and its result. I
have search high and low, but cannot seem to find an alternative.

I tried the instructions from
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2415252#post2415252

...
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump
while true; do dmesg -c; sleep 1; done;
...

But that only tells me block level info

I straced the parent process and all children, but that does not always tell me
the full atempted path

[pid 17410] open("perfStats.log",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

Any suggestions?
