As always, I fully agree with Klaus.

Looking back at an earlier mail, I see the possible problem. You say  
the imagePath variable contains a list of files like this:

Media/StrainUndef.jpg
Media/StrainTriaxOblat1.jpg
Media/StraintriaxOblat2.jpg
Media/DeformStrain.jpg
Media/DeformTrans.jpg
Media/DeformRotat.jpg

I assume the current defaultFolder is the folder where the "Media"  
folder is contained. Your script deletes the folder name to get the  
filename. But then the path to the original file is wrong. This  
should be better:

   set the itemDel to "/"
   repeat with i = 1 to num of lines in ImagePath
     put line i of ImagePath into ImagePathName
     put item -1 of ImagePathName into ImageFileName
     if there is a file ImagePathName then
        put url ("binfile:" & ImagePathName) into url  
("binfile:Export/" & ImageFileName)
     else
         answer "No such file." & return & ImagePathName
     end if
   end repeat
