Set print or export file problem

[Ben Weinberg]

Hi Doug:

As it turns out, I had converted this method from printing to a text file to making a pdf several years ago, and it runs automatically every day.  In the process, I forgot to remove the code for the print or export file name so it was trying to make both the text and the pdf at the same time. My bad!

 It’s funny that having the destination volume mounted as an afp lets me get away with this but mounting as an smb does not.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Permissions were all ok.

Ben
