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?
Good question. Because of the increasing restrictions due to the aggressive security policies being put in place lately, I wouldn't be surprised. The following works form me on Leopard. I expect it will work on Tiger (but have not tested directly):
set garbage to POSIX path of ((path to desktop as text) & "garbage") set flnt to POSIX path of (path to "flnt") do shell script "mv -f " & quoted form of garbage & space & quoted form of flnt
