[FX.php List] Not a valid path - for scheduled backups

[Vision Computer Consulting]

Troy,

Since OS X is a UNIX system, to test the path you would start the  
Terminal program inside the Untilities folder.

See if you can change to the that folder by issuing the following in  
Terminal:

cd /Volumes/'FireWire 78 GB'/'FMSA 8 Backups'/'Monday noon'/

cd stans for Change Directory.

the single apostrophe is needed if there is a space in the name.

Once the cd suceeds, is an ls command. If you see a listing of files  
then the path is correct according to the OS.
