The "filename" seems to be solely for informational purposes since there is no "open" provided by TIFFClientOpen. The TIFF data needs to be implicitly already opened (passed in via the handle) or implicitly openable. You should pass a "filename" which is most likely to result in warning or error messages which are most pleasing to you.
