Hazel beachballs when choosing move destination folders

Hello,

I'm running OS X 10.10.2 with the latest version of Hazel. When I choose the "Move" action, Hazel prompts me to pick a destination folder. After navigating to the desired destination folder, when I click "OK" to confirm the selection, Hazel beachballs, requiring me to force quit the application. This happens regardless of the destination I choose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm guessing you have a folder on a remote drive that isn't mounted at the moment. If that's the case, it should eventually time out and stop beachballing. That said, next time it happens, launch Activity Monitor and do "Sample Process" on System Preferences. Send the output over.

Are you referring to one of the folders in the source list, or a folder which is in one of the rules' destination list? As far as I know, I've never used a network attached drive on any system, but I have exported/imported rules from one machine to another. I'm actually experiencing this behavior on _two_ machines. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

I replied in email but it could be either though it would make the most sense to focus on the folder you just selected.
