RevCopyFolder XP problem

[David Glasgow]

Way back in October, Eric, Ken and others helped out with identifying  
special folders in XP and Vista, in which I could save shared and non  
shared data.  (Because the system I used in my app previously breaks  
under Vista).

Having finally decided on appropriate locations and file structures,  
I have started to script a routine which checks on the platform, then  
checks in each location for the expected folders, and copies them  
there if they are not present.

Debugging is a bit of a painful process on Windows, because I am  
using Studio on Mac and testing under Parallels (XP).  However, as  
far as I can tell, RevCopyFolder doesn't work as advertised on XP.   
In the Rev 2.0 language reference it states:

"The revCopyFolder command makes a copy of the entire folder,  
including all files, subfolders, and their contents. The folder  
remains in its original location and the copy is placed in the new  
location."

I only get the top level (i.e  foldertocopy) folder created in the  
new location, with none of its contents, be they files or folders.  I  
look at the result for each instance of RevCopyFolder after each  
partial successful copy, which gives me the numerical value '4'.

I know that RevCopyFolder seems to be very erratic on the Mac, but is  
my problem on Win recognised by others?  Is there an easy workaround?

Thanks
