Hi.

I have script, which has been running flawlessly for last ten months. The script does the following:
1.	checks hot folder on the server.
2.	moves file to local drive and formats the file.
3.	moves the formatted file back to server (different location).
4.	deletes file from local.

Last week the script went into a loop. I deleted all the files from the local and from hot folder on the server. The script was still processing a file. Did a system search and could not find the file. Opened and checked each folder on local drive and found the file in system:library.

any idea how the file got into system library and why did the script process file from system library. Because the file in system library was not been deleted the script went into a loop. (yet 2000 files in trash bin). Once I deleted the file from system library everything was back to normal. Does Applescript uses system library as a temporary processing place?

Ruby
