Yep, that's the right fix. Thanks!

I can't repeat this (with the current CVS sources). Could you try again to see 
that it's no freak incident? If it isn't: please try again with "trace import 
statements" on and let me know the results.

I think macostools.copy() is what you want to use here. A lot of the 
findertools methods have a counterpart in macostools, but where findertools 
calls on the finder macostools does it itself.
