I'm trying to setup a simple Automator script to backup my Entourage database to a shared SMB folder on my LAN
1. close Entourage
2. close Microsoft Database Daemon
4. Connect to Servers
5. Get Specified Finder Items (i.e. my local Entourage database)
6. Copy Finder Items
The first five steps work just fine
The last step always fails with a "Can't read directory contents /Volumes/<share>" error message
For the last step in this workflow I've tried specifying the destination of the Copy action in all the possible combinations i.e., via Sidebar name, shared name, directly as the /Volumes/<shared> name, etc. and all fail the same way
Note that I CAN INDEED connect to this shared folder just fine manually in Finder and the credentials are saved in my KeyChain
Anyone have any ideas why the last step keeps failing?
Here is the log:
1. tell application "Microsoft Entourage"quit)
