I use Daylite, and every night Daylite makes a backup of my database into a folder that it specifies. I don't need 1,000 backups, so I tried to set Hazel to delete anything older than 5 days old.

However, it won't do it because it says it doesn't have sufficient access.

The folder is located at

HD/Users/Shared/Daylite Sever Backups

Here is the log

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I already answered you in email but in case others are curious:

First thing is to try and move the files in Finder yourself. If you find you can't do it (or require a password), then there's something odd about the permissions that Daylite is setting. You need to contact them about that as Hazel can't control that.

I can move them myself in the finder. I think Daylite uses a hidden account to create the backups.

If you can figure out which account it is, you can try adding it (and your account) to a group and see if you can set the group permissions on the folder such that you both can write to it.
