Empty Trash error?


  • Subject: Empty Trash error?
  • From: John McMillan <email@hidden>

I have made up a script which backs up my work folder to an external HD each
night.
The script looks to see if there is more than two backup folders and if so
moves one to the trash where it checks for locked files and then deletes the
trash to continue with backup.
Recently I have been getting an error at this point and this is the message
in the event log:-

delete folder "Tuesday backup 03-07-2001 #01" of folder "Tuesday" of disk
"BackUp HD"
--> folder "Tuesday backup 03-07-2001 #01" of trash
set locked of every file of entire contents of trash to false
--> Finder got an error: because *0x/it/* contains items that are in
use

what is Ox/it/
The trash is empty before the script is run and there are no other progs
running.
Anyone know what the problem could be?

John
