Accordingluy to what i found this is npot a bug, but a feature.

"When using the 'path to' scripting addition, if the request is for a system
folder that does not exist, it will not be created; instead, the error
'Folder is not available in this operating system version' is returned"
from apple web site

so how do i create it if i need it?

any idea
