It's a custom Finder error, errFinderCantMoveSource, which sounds like you haven't got write access to something, presumably the thing you're trying to replace in the "duplicate" command, or possibly the directory that it's in.

Let me bring you up to speed with a more general problem I've been having ...


I installed 10.5 and created the admin user by migrating from a PPC G4 with 10.4.11. When I encounter a problem, it is usually connected with a folder migrated from my old Mac. I check the permissions for that folder and find that its permissions are ...
(unknown), Read only
everyone, Read only


Adding Me as a Read & Write owner fixed one of these problems. It does not fix the Temporary Items folder, however. I wonder if adding the Admin group as Read & Write will work ... (pause while I do that) ... No!

I have searched, but have found no tech docs explaining "(unknown)" user. Perhaps removing "(unknown)" user would help, but this is not allowed. What should I know about (unknown) ?

The destination folder for 'duplicate' was created by copying an image disk and has permissions ...
Me, Read & Write
admin, Read & Write
everyone, Read & Write


I have checked its parents. The disk has permissions ...
system, Read & Write
admin, Read & Write
everyone, Read only
I have checked ignore ownership, and I have added Me, Read & Write ... still get -15266.


I have checked the application created in the Temporary Items folder and found that the permissions are ...
Me, Read & Write
(unknown), Read only
everyone, Read only


This application is created by Script Editor upon command from an AppleScript. It seems odd that it should have an "(unknown)" name in the permissions. I need tech info on "(unknown)" !
