[AS] Package problems across servers

I have struck an unusual problem trying to create packages across file servers. I can create 'packages' perfectly on one file server but not to any others (we have 3 separate servers). I also have no problem creating them on the local machine.

Even stranger though, is that one server is formatted into 4 partitions and I can create packages on one partition but not the others. All have identical privs (and I'm logged in as admin anyway).

the script (trimmed of error trapping for brevity) is:



 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
	set mydoc to active document 
	set myname to name of mydoc 
end tell

set mypath to "Torch:" 
set thedest to mypath & myname & "�:" as text

-- if the folder doesn't exist, create it 
tell application "Finder" 
	set myfolder to make new folder at alias mypath with properties {name:myname & "�"} 
end tell

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
	package mydoc to thedest with copying linked graphics and updating graphics without copying fonts 
end tell 




If I step through the script I can see that the folder gets created correctly but the actual packaging fails - but without generating an error (it always returns true even though the packaging failed and it cruises through an error trap).

I tried the same thing from another OSX machine with the same result - and an OS9 machine created the folder and the document file but no links.

I read in the archives of some issues regarding the package command but any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
