sysError values...

[Bob Sneidar]

Is it 13 or -13? I didn't see an entry for -13, but negative errors are different. Also this may not be a complete list, or the sysError() function in LC may not have anything to do with *actual* OS X system errors, and finally you may be getting the actual last error the OS generated, but it has nothing to do with your problem.

I am 99% certain this issue is a permission issue (no write access to the folder). However, have the exact and correct error message corresponding to the sysError() function returning a value of 13 would be nice to help troubleshoot.
