Just a hunch - do you have Smile/Satimage installed? I had this happen

Yes indeed. Excellent hunch.

The Satimage osax has a term

path to application

which is evidently taking precedence when

path to (application support)

is not parenthesized. A namespace conflict in OS X already! That would
explain why Philip didn't need to do this whereas John and I do need to do
so. And of course, so may anybody's users, even if a script author does not
have Satimage installed and does not no anything about this conflict.


Lucky me. I temporarily took out Satimage last week to make sure the embedded scripts I use in a plugin distribution only require plain vanilla.

Good sleuthing guys!
