From a modified:

tell application
"Finder.app"
copy file "CGI script" of desktop to "Documents"
end tell

ScriptDebugger gives me a:

`Can't set "Documents" to file "CGI script" of desktop. Access not allowed.'

And an Applescript error -10003 when trying to compile.

Any ideas (I'm logged in as an administrator and have permissions set
correctly [0700])?

Regards,

Phil.
