  • Thread-topic: Finder Copy to 'Cleanup At Startup' Folder in Leopard

I have been using a script under Tiger (10.4.11) that uses the Finder to
copy an item to the 'Cleanup At Startup' folder as follows:

set CleanupFolder to path to "flnt" as string
duplicate folder FolderName to item CleanupFolder with replacing

When I try to run the same script with Leopard (10.5.5), the script stops
with an error message indicating that the Finder cannot make the destination
specification into type folder.

Is there a limitation to Finder copying to the hidden 'private' folders in
Leopard?
