problem renaming/deleting files on other 'volumes' (OSX)

[Sarah Reichelt]

Hi Terry,

This is probably a stupid question, but are you sure the file path is 
correct?
If the drive is a networked drive, then the path has to be prefixed by 
"/Volumes/". This may also be true for a directly connected non-boot 
drive.

Have you tried getting "the result" after the delete command? That 
might give a clue, especially if you use something like:
delete file myFilePath
if the result is not empty then answer error "Can't delete file " & 
myFilePath & cr & the result

Cheers,
Sarah
