Are you sure the file is being created? You should put a check in after
the new() statement:

  fileIO = xtra("FileIO").new()
  if not objectP(fileIO ) then
    alert "FileIO not installed."
  end if
 
You should also check the status of each call with status:

  fileIO.createFile(filePath)  
  err = status(fileXtra)
  if err <> 0 then
    -- you have a problem.
    -- check the docs.
  end if

I don't use the scripting xtra, so I'm not sure. The rest of the code
looks ok. Check for errors and you'll likely find the problem.

Cordially,
