Thank-you for your insights and suggestions.

Since Mac OS is also a ’nux system, I assumed that the naming convention would 
work as you’ve described. Yet on my machine, it’s not behaving nicely.

Assuming that in my case, $(FILE_FOLDER) is actually “Sept15_Bike\ Courier”, 
I’ve entering (again) the following:

        /$(FILE_FOLDER)/$(FILE_FOLDER)_RAWconversion/$(FILE_NAME)


Whereas I desire the following structure under $(File_Folder):

        Sept15_Bike\ Courier_RAWconversion/HVI_8892.png

I actually get the following, all under $(File_Folder):

        /Volumes/heviiguy2ndPartition/Media/Pictures/Personal/Sept15_Bike\ 
Courier/Volumes/heviiguy2ndPartition/Media/Pictures/Personal/Sept15_Bike\ 
Courier_RAWconversion/HVI_8892.png

Here’s the strange thing: The SAME result occurs if I omit the initial forward 
slash!

Any other thoughts? Has anybody else on Yosemite experienced this?
