--try one of the below techniques to discover the 'glich'

if you are using the form I use almost all the time:
put varA into url ("file:"&myRootfolder()&"savedData.txt")

function myRootfolder
  get the filename of this stack
   set the itemDel to "/"
   return (item 1 to -2 of it)
end myRootfolder

--or 

if not there is a folder fullPathEyeWant then answer "oops "& cr &
fullPathEyeWant

--or 
Try to write a string "some enchanted evening" to the path you have
specified, then immediately read it back into a variable.

--or 
answer file "the file I want"
put it into fullPathEyeChose
put fullPathEyeChose &cr& fullPathEyeWant into msg
put cr & ( fullPathEyeChose is fullPathEyeWant) after msg

--or
make sure the file is not empty!!!!


Hope this helps.
