Bringing Out Yer Dead - Permission Error

G'day!

I moved my entire iTunes library from Windows to Mac (Leopard). The transfer of the library worked quite well, except that iTunes is missing about 2 or 3% of the files now.

As the files are still on the harddisc, I'm using Doug's cool script 'Bringing Out Yer Dead (http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts07.php?page=3#bringoutyerdead)' to find and reallocate these missing tracks. The script seems to work fine, at least it can find all files, but once confirmed, it will show up a 'permission error' and the broken link will just disappear instead of being replaced with the actual track.

Is there a way how I could get this script working without getting this permission error?

Thanks and rgds,
Ivo.

It seems the permission error only appears when applying the script on tracks that are within a playlist. Otherwise it works fine, just a bit slow as it is not possible to run this for multiple files (I have to do it for 720 single tracks).

I wish this script was updated for multiple files too.
