Thanks, Julio.

The full path doesn't seem to be the problem.  I've tested using a  
full path on my local drive - still doesn't work.  In all cases, the  
exact same syntax works properly when executed from Terminal, but  
doesn't work using TrFile_ExecuteShell.  And a different command-line  
does work using TrFile_ExecuteShell, so I know my FMP syntax is  
proper.  Weird.

Re: TrFile_ExecuteShell ... and another issue

Julio -

Turned out you were right about my TrFile_ExecuteShell problem - I  
misread your reply.  I thought you were saying to use the full path of  
the *movie* file, but I think you were saying the full path to the  
mediainfo utility file.  *That* worked - I wish I would have paid  
better attention in the first place!  Thanks for trying to help me!

All -

I have another issue I'm trying to resolve, maybe someone has an idea:

Running Troi File v. 4.6.2, FMPA10, FMSA10, on a PowerPC G5, with  Mac  
OS X Server v10.5.6.  I've got a developers license as well as a  
server-side license for TroiFile

I'm using TrFile_CreateFolder to create a folder on a mounted volume  
(remote drive on the LAN).  When I run the script from FileMaker Pro,  
it creates the folder successfully.  But when I schedule the script on  
the server side, it returns a $$-43, i.e., File not found.  When I try  
to create a folder on the local drive, it runs successfully from Server.

I suspect it's a permissions problem.  When I run it from Pro, I'm  
logged into an account with write privileges to the remote volume.  
And I can give fmserver write privileges to the local volume, and it  
runs properly.  But I don't know how to give the fmserver user account  
write privileges on a separate computer?  I've also tried allowing  
"everyone" write access to the remote volume but it still doesn't work  
from Server.

For laughs, I tried unmounting and mounting the remote volume, so that  
I can mount it with an admin account.  Mounting the volume completes  
successfully from Server, but I still get the same error when trying  
to create the folder.  I've also tried referencing the mounted volume  
using afp, but I get the same result, and I'm unsure of the proper  
syntax re: colons vs. forward slashes.

Is there another way to reference a remote volume using Troi File  
through which I can pass admin account credentials?  Or can I create  
an fmserver account on the other computer so that Server is allowed to  
write to that volume?  Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

TIA,

Katherine
