Save As PDF script step not working in lion?

A Save Records As PDF script step that seems to work well in Snow Leopard does not generate a PDF file in Lion and produces a code 800 error. See the attached file for the error message that flashes across the screen and a simple fp7 file that demonstrates the problem. I am using version 11.0v4, which I was hoping would correct the problem.

Should I be doing something else to circumvent the error, or will I need to wait for the next version to regain this functionality?

You're trying to save the file to the FileMaker folder. That hasn't been best practice for years because the folder is likely to be read-only for non-admin users, and in many environments (especially corporate) most accounts are not admin.

Save to the documents folder, the desktop, or the temporary folder. On many corporate computers the desktop is also locked especially PCs.

Thank you, Vaughan. That took care of the problem easily, and saving to those alternatives is preferable for me.
