Okay.

Based on what I was able to read in the new highly searchable PDF  
I've got, my syntax SHOULD BE....

do shell script "hdiutil create -srcfolder '/Users/myname' '/Desktop/ 
MyData.dmg'"

But I get an error of "hdiutil: create failed - Invalid argument"  
when I try that.

do shell script "hdiutil create -srcfolder '/Users/myname' ~/Desktop/ 
MyData.dmg"

Regards,

Chuck
