I swear programming would be nothing but fun without syntax. In 
Tiger, Applescript 1.10.7:

set onePath to (path to desktop as string) & (docName as string)
set newPath to ("Server:Folder:" & (docName as string)

tell application "Finder"
duplicate item onePath to newPath
end tell

--> "Can't handle items of this class"

Same result with move.

select item onePath
class of selection -->"property"


Seems like this worked in Panther.  What am I missing here?
