I have a login script that automatically mounts a volume and copies down a couple of files to the local HD. When the script runs it is mounting the afp volume fine but absolutely refuses to copy the files to the machine. Here is the piece of the script.

mkdir -p /Library/Scripts/Custom
mkdir /Volumes/Software\ Update\ Scripts       
mount_afp afp://xs.intranet.com/Software\ Update\ Scripts /Volumes/Software\ Update\ Scripts
cp /Volumes/Software\ Update\ Scripts/softwareupdate.sh /Library/Scripts/Custom/
chmod u+x /Library/Scripts/Custom/softwareupdate.sh    
cp /Volumes/Software\ Update\ Scripts/com.intranet.softwareupdate.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/
umount -f /Volumes/Software\ Update\ Scripts

I don’t see any reason why this copy doesn’t work during logon. I took the same code and pasted into a shell session and it worked fine. Just refuses to work as a login script. Anybody seen this?

Thank you for your time

Dedrick
