Droplet getting -42 error

My droplet is getting -42 error, file not found. It prints the file path correctly, and the file does exist at the path it prints, but somehow it cannot find it. Any ideas?

Is FileVault on? Can you post some code?

File Vault is off.

Code?

#5 
on panel ended theObject with result withResult
set theFolder to item 1 of (path names of open panel as list)
set theSize to (size of (get info for (theFolder)))

Gives me a -43 can’t find the file error.

#6

Shouldn’t the last line just be “info for”, not “get info for”?:

set theSize to (size of (info for (theFolder)))

Otherwise, does the file happen to be on a networked volume?
