try

effective filename

and perhaps add:

answer "The file path I am using as SA is " & cr & tPath
--to see what is happening and ---------
get tPath &"/" & "testFile.txt"
put "test write" into url ("file:/"& it)

if there is a file it then
   answer "Successfully created a file" & cr & it
else 
   answer "Could NOT create a file" & cr & it
end if
--------------
Could be a permissions issue.
