Title: Failure to duplicate file

Is it me or is the Finder really flaky under Applescript? I don’t understand this Applescript stuff some days...

This seems to work sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t:

tell application “Finder”
set backedupFile to duplicate existingFile to folder backupFolder with replacing
end tell

Where existingFile and backupFolder are variables of class alias that point to an afp mounted volume.

Sometimes this command works, sometimes I get an error that says “Get failed: no such object (e.g. Specifier asked for the 3rd, but there are only 2)(errAENoSuchObject-1728)”

Any suggestions?
