I have a script (simplified):

set foo to choose file
tell app “Image Events”
	launch
	open foo
	(do some stuff with it)
	save to desktop as “temp.jpg”
end tell

tell app “Preview”
	open “/user/desktop/temp.jpg”
end tell
—> Error: "The file couldn’t be opened because you do not have permission to view it.”

Hey, I saved it to MY desktop with MY script.

Permissions say I own it and everybody read only.  And if I open Preview and select it, it opens. 

Any ideas?
