I then tried a longer route for this task, with the following:
tell application "Finder"
activate
set drvName to (name of every disk whose name begins with "Heinz")
select disk (drvName)
open selection
set fldrName to (name of every folder of disk drvName whose name
starts
with "Heinz List")
duplicate fldrName to "Macintosh HD:Heinz" with replacing
Assuming that there is only one folder whose name starts with "Heinz
List", I think this needs to be:
duplicate folder fldrName to "Macintosh HD:Heinz" with replacing
since fldrName contains the name of the folder, not a reference to a
folder. If there is more than one folder matching the selector, then
you need to iterate through the list, but you still need to prefix the
name with folder or it won't work.
close container window of disk drvName
end tell
but that got the same result, with or without "with replacing".
