Problem moving folders

I have just set up a new MacMini server with Hazel.
I have a folder shared across the network as 'Dropbox'.
I have a simple rule within Hazel pointing to it,

if date-added is not in the last 2 minutes
move to folder 'Inbox'

When those on the network drop individual files into the Dropbox they move.
When they drop a folder containing files into the Dropbox it does not.

Looking at the Hazel logs as I force the rule returns error 5000 which I understand is a permissions problem.

Question is, how do I overcome this? Is there any AppleScript or other code I can execute as part of the Hazel rule to resolve the problem?

Look at the permissions on the folder. Also, try moving the folder manually in Finder and see if it works (if it requires a password, then it won't work in Hazel).

As a solution, that doesn't help me.

I know there is a permissions problem. There is a 5000 error in the log, as I mentioned.
The folder will move from Finder without issue. I have tried this.

I was thinking I could run a bash script to change the permissions of any item in the Dropbox folder to 777 so I tried this. It worked and then, it failed. No obvious reason, but it returned the same error as before.

Surely someone has managed a Hazel rule to move a sub folder containing objects from one folder to another haven't they?

Okay. Almost there I think.

I have amended the rule to run an AppleScript ahead of moving the files/folders from the Dropbox folder to the correct location.

do shell script "chown -R user1 '/Users/user1/Shared Folders/Dropbox/.' && chmod -R 777 '/Users/user1/Shared Folders/Dropbox/.'" user name "user1" password "password1" with administrator privileges

This changes the permissions and allows the content to be moved. If there is a better way I would like to know, but this hack does the job.

However....

If I split this into two separate rules, one to set the permissions and one to move the files, as I want to do for a temporary shared file storage place, then the script runs but the auto-delete element of that folder never happens. I have set rule 1 to run if date added is not in the last 2 minutes and rule 2 (the delete rule) to happen every 30 minutes. Both rules are ticked and in the correct order within the Hazel window.

A file can only match one rule. You need to fix the conditions or reorder the rules to take that into account. I'm guessing that most files are older than 2 minutes such that it always matches that over the 30 minutes rule.
