Jon's Command CopyFile suddenly stopped working

Hello List.

We are using Jon Pugh's "Jon's Commands" for the past 5 years without problem.
However, yesterday the CopyFile function started returning errors to us saying the "Drive XYZ:Folder1:Folder2:FileABC.txt" couldn't be found"


Here's the catch... the error is erroneous because if I remove the file "FileABC.txt" from the destination folder where it is copying to, it copies without a problem. So it appears to be giving me this message when it tries to over an existing file. If I leave off the "replacing yes", I in fact get an error message that a duplicate file exists. When I add "replacing yes" I get the above error about the "Drive XYZ..." not being found.



Also, if I have it copy to a location on the local hard drive, it functions fine, over writing the file correctly. It only fails and returns this error when I try to copy to the mounted drive. Nothing has changed since yesterday on our network or the machines we are running the scripts on.

Anyone have any idea what would suddenly cause this?
We are running this on Legacy machines running 8.6 copying to mounted volume on an G5 running OS X 10.3.9 Server.


My entire command line looks like this:

CopyFile ("Local Drive:Folder A:Folder B:08-09-17.txt") to ("Mounted_Drive:Sub_Folder:Destination_Folder:") replacing yes
Jon's Command rev number is 2.1.2.


Thanks,

Rick
