This works for me just fine, so I'm not sure how I can help. However...

For me, the latter works.
The former will not work because the string must only contain file types.
As an example, if you look in your Director 8:Learning:Lingo_Examples
directory, you can see just the movie by using
setfilterMask (foo, "MooV")
or both the movie and the Director files by using
setfilterMask (foo, "MooVMVO8")

Neither of these will work because, in the first case, the file type code
is case-sensitive, so it must be MooV. In the second case, "ttxt" is a
Simple Text creator code. The setFilterMask command needs the file type.
