I tried to use a slightly modified version of the OS9 "Synchronize
Folders" script under OSX, but it no longer works. I tried using
both the Classic AppleScript, and the OSX AppleScript.
To rule out my modified script, I ran the original Apple-provided
script, but I get the same error. When the script gets to the point
of copying the files, it fails, with an error:
"A descriptor type mismatch occurred"
The applescript event log is thus:
"copy alias "SOHO Server:Operations:Scheduling:W42_10_15" to folder
(alias "DSN Schedules:")
--> Finder got an error: A descriptor type mismatch occurred."
This error does not occur for local folders -- it seems to occur only
for network volumes. I am attempting to sync folders on two
different network-mounted (AFP) drives.
