I assume you meant filer_message_open_dir, as the one you mention doesn't
exist. In fact, even that message structure is deprecated, as it does not
contain the message header; it is only present for legacy purposes. The
structure you require is filer_full_message_open_dir. You'll need to
initialise the header appropriately, and make the cast as you describe.

HTH. Could you please address any further queries to the OSLib-user
maillist, so that there is a chance of your query being dealt with even when
I'm away, like last week.
