sh: /Applications/: is a directory

here's the line that calls the command line utility:

system( [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/CpMac -p %@ %@", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath], origFile, backupTmpFile] cString] );

That last %@ in the format should be %s, since you're passing a C string there.

the cString applies to the whole thing between the system( [[....] cString] ) brackets so that's not it unfortunately.

Well, re-write to

NSString *cmd=[NSString stringWithFormat .... ];
NSLog(@"About to perform: [%@]",cmd);
int exit=system([cmd UTF8String]); // better somewhat than the rightly deprecated cString
NSLog(@"exit %d",exit);


With these printouts, you should be able to determine the cause of the error (which most probably is the well-known dodginess of system you explicitly did not care about :))
