revCopyFile

I am trying to use revCopyFile for the first time. In the course of 
trying to work out why it does not do it for me, I put the following 
test script in the message box:

put "/Elsewhere/Users/davidv/Desktop/Telstra usage" into sPath
put "/Elsewhere/Users/davidv/tmp/" into dPath
put spath & return & dpath
revCopyFile spath,dpath

The message box shows the two paths as written above, but not copy 
happens (and nor if I include a file name as part of dPath).

If I switch the last two lines, thus:

put "/Elsewhere/Users/davidv/Desktop/Telstra usage" into sPath
put "/Elsewhere/Users/davidv/tmp/" into dPath
revCopyFile spath,dpath
put spath & return & dpath

Then not only does the copy not happen but the message box remains 
obstinately empty.

What gives, please?

thanks
David
