Shawn,

As mentioned, I don't think the Radarsat 2 product.xml driver supports
NITF though it might by virtue of not really paying attention to the
image format (just using GDAL for it).

However, I believe the NITF driver does not currently support 64bit
complex NITF files.  So a little work may be required in that driver
to get this working.  I don't suppose there are sample files that
can be made available for development purposes?

Best regards,
