I am try to create a script that will move a folder called Delluminate.ucalgary.zip from the CD-ROM to a specified section on the hard drive (specifically the java webstart cache for the logged in user) Right now my code is set to take the file from a usb key, as I need to have the script working and on the cd before i burn it. When ever I try and run or compile this script i get “Syntax Error Can’t Get “Delluminate.ucalgary.ca” of the folder “Mac OS” of disk “KINGSTON”. Access is not allowed” Any help you guys can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks

For reference here is my code
tell application "finder"
move "Delluminate.ucalgary.ca" of folder "Mac OS" of disk "KINGSTON" to folder "http" of folder "cache" or folder "Java Web Start" of folder "Caches" of folder "Library" of home
end tell
is it called “Delluminate.ucalgary.ca” or “Delluminate.ucalgary.zip”?
its .ca The files in that folder are loaded when a user activates elluminate. For dial up users the time it takes to download these files is justtoo long, so this is supposed to copy that folder to the spot it would normally be downloaded to, that folder was pulled right off of my old iMac , file name and all
you must let the finder know what “Delluminate.ucalgary.ca” is (note the “move file”")
tell application "Finder"
move file "Delluminate.ucalgary.ca" of folder "Mac OS" of disk "KINGSTON" to folder "http" of folder "cache" or folder "Java Web Start" of folder "Caches" of folder "Library" of home
end tell
(Is it home or home folder?)
To get paths, I either record a simple action in the Finder, or I just run “choose file”. Your problem is likely caused by a path that is slightly incorrect.
