It's a custom Finder error, errFinderCantMoveSource, which sounds

you're trying to replace in the "duplicate" command, or possibly the

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)" !
