Hmmm - I must confess that I misread Neville's post - he did explicitly 
mention 'creating' files... The normalization would only arise if the 
file already existed, but the requested (incoming) filename was 
normalized differently (thus resulting in the file not being found).

So assuming that the defaultFolder is accessible in your above script 
(as a read-only folder would also cause the same error) then there does 
appear to be something up here...

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
