Thanks, all for the responses. First I changed the path to write to. The folder is writable. On GetInfo for the folder "MYTEST", I have set "Read & Write" permissions for: You can, Owner, Group, & Others. Is there anything else I need to do to make it write to that folder?
As a side note, I am running an Apache server on the mac I am working on, and I can write PHP programs that will write to this directory. However, this is still not working. I am not getting anything under "Errors and Warnings" in Xcode. Also the program loads. However, after running the Debugger does come up. On debugger there are 5 listed. 0. asm objc_msgSend 0x90a594c0:1 1. ? 2. asm -[NSConcreteFileHandle initWithPath:flags:createMode:] 0x92867509:1 3. asm +[NSFileHandle fileHandleForWritingAtPath:] 0x9287a5e6:1 4.
