Error when duplicating files

Hello,

I am trying to shorten a script I was running before and I am getting an -8082. The error is with the duplicate command.

Would someone have an idea why?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

at first glance: All POSIX file paths must start with a slash, for example

 set abcde to "mv /Volumes/NX5U/MP_ROOT/101PNV01/M2U0*.* /Volumes/NX5U/MP_ROOT/SAUVEGARDE/"

And all HFS paths must start with a disk name and external volumes must not start with Volumes, for example

set NX5Ufolder to "cardVolume & ":" & cardMPEGFolder & ":" --"NX5U:MP_ROOT:101PNV01:"
set POSIXNX5Ufolder to POSIX path of NX5Ufolder

Thanks Stefan,

I will make this change to the script.

This is really bizarre, I’ve took that script and copied it onto another computer and it work flawlessly.

There are things which are hard to understand sometime.

with regards!
Daniel
