One thing though, it uses current directories quite a lot. I'm not
sure that Carbon supports current directories?

Last time I tried, it did.

I'm also not sure that  CodeWarrior's fopen and fwrite is very good,

Why do you think so?
I always use these functions because they're cross platform. Never had a problem.
You should know it's better to test than to make assumptions :-)

I had some problems with it before not accepting shell paths :(

Yes, you do need to convert these to HFS style paths.

I'm considering changing all my fopen functions, to RBfopen, RBfXXX.
Is this a good idea?

I would stick with the standard C functions.
Why make it more difficult then it needs to be?
