Aren't you just attempting to set a string constant to some value (a
Finder's file reference, in this case)?
The Finder expects
duplicate <reference> [to <location reference>]
even if it seems to still accept the copy command instead.
You typed:
copy <reference> to <string constant>
so that the Finder passes the command as is to AppleScript, because a
string constant is not a location reference But AppleScript expects:
copy <value> to <variable expression>
and fails.
