Is that really what's in the Retrospect log? If so, then
they're
being bizarre to you. Those look like HFS paths with the
colons
translated to slashes, which is just wrong. Absolute POSIX
paths
start with a slash, and don't contain the disk name unless they route
through "/Volumes"
first.
prefixing "/Volumes/" provided the definitive solution;
having edited the log:
File ³FavoriteDefs.prf²: different creation date/time (src:
26/5/2004 23:20:1, dest: 26/2/2004 10:00:0), path:
³mitchX/Applications/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD 8.1
folder/FavoriteDefs.prf².
to
mitchX/Applications/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD 8.1
folder/FavoriteDefs.prf
prefixed
set thisItem to
"/Volumes/mitchX/Applications/Graphisoft/ArchiCAD 8.1
folder/FavoriteDefs.prf"
then
set
UNIXcommand
to "touch -acfm "
& quoted
form of thisItem
do shell
script
UNIXcommand
--
thanks for assistance
John
