Hi everybody,
I have a strange problem with Mac OS X 10.6.3:
set pp to "Macintosh HD:Users:martin:Desktop:Logs:" as text
POSIX path of pp
-- returns "Macintosh HD:Users:martin:Desktop:Logs:"
Everytime the path ends with Logs, it doesn’t return the Posix path.
This one works:
set pp to "Macintosh HD:Users:martin:Desktop:Logsi:" as text
POSIX path of pp
-- returns "/Users/martin/Desktop/Logsi/"
Both paths do not yet exist.
Do you also encounter this problem?
Weird greetings from Germany,

Hi Martin,
I don’t have Snow Leopard, but does the relative path work?
set pp to POSIX path of (path to desktop) & "Logs/"
It works for me. Weird. Maybe you should restart? Reinstall? 
Yes, this code returns “/Users/martin/Desktop/Logs/”. I really don’t understand the problem…
It’s the first time I am really puzzled about AppleScript.
set pp to (path to desktop)
set pp to (pp & "Logs:" as text)
POSIX path of pp
-- returns "Macintosh HD:Users:martin:Desktop:Logs:"
I already restarted my MacBook Pro. But it also happens on my other Macs and at work 
I will try to set the language settings to English now, maybe the bug is only “available” in the German localization…*
- Switching the language did not help…
Weird, Martin;
This works for me on a MBP (early 2008) OS X 10.6.3:
set pp to POSIX path of "ACB-MBP:Users:adambell:Desktop:Logs"
Found a workaround, but the problems still bugs me 
set pp to (path to desktop)
set pp to (pp & "Logs:" as text)
POSIX path of (file pp)
-- returns "/Users/martin/Desktop/Logs/"
i don’t see the problem.
Personally I´m always using the syntax in post #2, then the problem will never occur
