set itemInfo to (info for (path to users folder))
on run {aInputs, aParameters} tell application "Finder" set itemInfo to (info for "/Users") end tell end run
"/Users" is not the type of path expected by info for. Thank you. But I just used /Users in my posting to show that it is definitely a location that exists. There is a folder on my root volume named '/Developers'. If I change my script to refer to that folder (or more generally any folder or file on any mounted volume) my script fails with the file not found problem I mentioned.
Paul, Thank you also for your comments. In answer to your first question, no I haven't used 'info for' before. I use AppleScript very infrequently I'm afraid. (Java & C++ mostly.) After reading your response I'm still stumped as to how to convert the POSIX paths that Automator passes to my action into aliases.
Once again, any help is greatly appreciated.
