Applescript just doesn't like me these days. 

set dPath to path to desktop as string
set newFiepath to dPath & "foo.txt" as string
-->"MacHD/Users/Bill/desktop/foo.txt"

But now I insert this into a Filemaker script (FM11 0v4) and it produces

-->"MacHD/Users/Bill/desktop/#foo.txt"

Where did the pound sign come from?
