I get the error: "Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again."
I also have put a pause or wait in the workflow to no avail.


I thought the same thing that the server was not fully mounted prior to the copy being initiated.. but that does not seem to be the case.

Not sure what is means about the action's properties... as when I run the last two steps as a separate automator, after mounting the server's volume, it works.

The "Check the action's properties" error is kind of misleading. Check the log in Automator for more details. You can display the log by choosing "View > Log" from the menu bar. To determine if a pause is necessary, you may want to try stepping through the workflow, one action at a time, giving each one time to complete. If this works, then perhaps, as previously suggested, adding a pause will help. You can step through the workflow by selecting "Workflow > Step" from the menu bar.


Regards,

-Ben
