Problem with moving files

It seems to me that something is interfering. While Hazel might not it is busy there may be a window where Hazel is not detecting it being busy and some other step or process is changing the file. I would look into adding a condition to make Hazel wait a bit before moving it.

I am not sure if this apples to your particular problem, however I had a very similar one.

It appears that when copying files to a samba network share OS X does not lock the file, so it can be accidentally accessed by hazel while it is nt complete.

I made the following rule (and script) which appears to solve the problem.

place it as the first rule so it can ignore files in a copy state.

unfortunately I cannot explain all the xattr bits as I was unable to find the required documentation. if anyone has it please let me know

hope this helps someone

Rule:
IF
passes shell script: embedded script

DO
Ignore

the embedded script:

fb=`xattr -p com.apple.FinderInfo "$1" | awk '{print $1}' | head -n1`

if [ "$fb" == "" ]; then
fok=Y
fi

if [ "$fb" == "00" ]; then
fok=Y
fi

if [ "$fok" != "Y" ]; then
exit 0
else
exit 1
fi

Can you explain what this is checking? That xattr is not documented as it's private so I'm wondering how you came to this conclusion.
