Script to change file name

Hi,

I'm an absolute beginner at AS. I feel it could do a lot for me, but I'm
constantly running into error boxes.

I am working with OS X 10.2.3. I have been reading up in AS language guide
for AS 1.3.7, a PDF-File. The AS on the computer is 1.9, so there might be
some problems there as well.

Every day, I import a file named xyz from a Barcodereader, this is then
imported into FMP. Next day, the file xyz is replaced by a new xyz, and so
on.
For safety reasons I'd like to duplicate xyz, position it into another
folder and rename it with eg xyz.date.
I can manage the duplication and the repositioning, but I don't seem to be
able to change the file name. The box says: access not allowed.

I am the sole user on the system, so I do not suppose it has to do with
rights.

Thanks for your help.
