Hazel out of the blue started having problems moving files to an offloads folder. Nothing has changed in the folder rules and nothing "That I know of" has changed with the folder that I'm moving the files to. I've pasted the last part of the Hazel log below. Now none of those files are open or even being used. I've reboot twice and still get the same messages. I have stopped and restarted Hazel and still get the issue. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The -5000 error indicates a permission problem. Can you move the file manually in Finder without triggering a password prompt?

Check the permissions by selecting the folder in question and doing "Get Info" in Finder. The permissions are at the bottom. Make sure to do this for both the source and destination and report back with what you find.

It was a permissions problem on the file that was to be moved both directories didn't have a problem when I tried moving other files. Thanks.
