Appendfile and move problems

I’m having an issue on my clients where an action is failing when trying to use the appendfile functionality. I’m using the exact same action language that I have successfully used in the past but the action is now failing on clients when I try and move the appendfile to a separate file. I am also trying to use the Fixlet Debugger and I get an error when it tries to parse the move command as well. The action language is shown below with the 3rd line being (the move line) the one clients are failing on. I am perplexed. I am posting the script from a specific action but this is not the only task that uses appendfile/move that is failing in my environment. What am I doing wrong?

I am running BES 7.1.1.315. All clients referenced are XP based.

// Create status file

move __appendfile {pathname of windows folder}\temp\preinstall.txt

Make sure the target path exists and the target file does not exist before doing the move:

if {not exists folder (pathname of windows folder & “\temp”)}

dos mkdir {pathname of windows folder}\temp

else

delete {pathname of windows folder}\temp\preinstall.txt

endif

It was the preexistence of the file that got me plus I don’t think the fixlet debugger has all the bugs worked out of it yet. I can run the action (with your suggested modifications) and it works fine yet when I take the same action script and put it in the debugger it still fails on the move command.

Oh well, the important thing is my action is working. Thanks for the help.
