Does the user who is running the script have write permission for both the vOutputFolder and any file that might need to be replaced when you duplicate vMasterFilePath? If not then you'll have to change the permissions before you attempt the duplication or perform the action as a user with the proper permissions.

Hello,

I get "Finder got an error: The operation could not be completed." on most
attempts of using this duplication script.

tell application "Finder"
if (exists file vMasterFilePath) and (exists folder vOutputFolder) then
-- update folder vOutputFolder
duplicate file vMasterFilePath to folder vOutputFolder with replacing
end if
end tell

Just so you know I am on OS 10.3.4 and coping to two locations

1. Xserve with OS X SERVER 10.2.8

2. local partitioned drive with a folder on the top level of a disk that has
a system installed.
