If I type the following at the command line rsync -aE /Volumes/FMRILDAP\;SAMBA-2/archive-list ~/BACKUP It works perfectly. However if I include the same in an applescript I get the error Expected """""" but found unkown token and the ; is highlighted. I tried the suggeseted fix for the metacharacters but I get the same error. Thanks

  I don't have a SAMBA share to test this on, but try this both in Terminal and AppleScript:
  
  sync -aE '/Volumes/FMRILDAP;SAMBA-2/archive-list' ~/BACKUP
  
  Don't use quoted form, it will look for a file name with apostrophes.
