Shon:

Thanks for finally providing all the details in one post. ;-) This is indeed an odd problem. A suggestion if I may: Try running the copy path code with some other source (on receiving mount notification, for example, don't use the mounted path but hard-code something like, say, /Users/shon/Desktop/SomeTestFolder). See if that makes it happy.

The reason I suggest this is that there may be some weird device- specific stuff going on here. You're mounting a FAT-32 volume, right (I think you said that)? If so, you may very well have found a weakness. Either way, testing it with some other source path will tell you whether the problem is with that volume or your code.

Also, what version of OS X are you running on? You might want to search for known issues.

Originally, this is exactly what I was doing, but launching the app
from a terminal (so I'd know the current directory).  I've since
discovered the error of my ways and have corrected the code to contain
a proper absollute path for the destination.

My more recent messages contain the code and logs ... and evidence of
the sill-present error.  :-(

I didn't copy/paste that path; it is indeed "/Volumes/SHONSD". I don't key
this path in, it comes from the notification. The destination path is
"./temp/" and is currently hard-coded into the app.


You specify "./temp/", but do you know where "./" is? If you aren't setting
the the current working directory, read the docs on the NSFileManager
methods:


- (NSString *)currentDirectoryPath

- (BOOL)changeCurrentDirectoryPath:(NSString *)path
Hope that helps.

Aaron
