Well, for starters one thing I ommited to say (bad me!) was that the folder in question was on an external drive attached to a network machine. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

That could be the culprit, although...

Any idea why ?

Not offhand. I can't test for the network thing at the moment, since I'm currently using a standalone machine (and Tiger evidently doesn't want to talk to my poor old pre-OS X antiquities).


From your other code, I see you've already tried Finder's update.

Does it help if you try sending the same command more than once (obviously in a try block - and perhaps with a short delay between calls)? And what happens if you try a straight (count items) under the same conditions? Do you get the correct result every time?

(Just a couple of stray musings, really. I really should leave this to those better able to see and test the behaviour for themselves...)
