Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
And the answer IS.... do shell script "hdiutile create -srcfolder 'sourcePath' 'destinationPath' -format UDZO -ov" user name myName password myPassword with administrator privileges This eliminates the pesky authentication dialog from interfering. The source and destination paths need to be converted to UNIX requirements using the POSIX Path function. Format UDZO gets it to compress. -ov overwrites any existing file.
