RB2006r2 on OS 10.4.7
I have an application that takes a text file that is passed to it,
runs it through a unix command which generates a new text file (in
the TemporaryItemsFolder) with modified content. My application
then adds a resource fork to this new text file, and passes it to
another application which immediately picks it up from a watched
folder. The original file is deleted.
Whenever I reboot the machine, I am getting a TON of these new
files mentioned above in a Rescued Items folder in the Trash.
This is even though the files have long since done their function
and been deleted by the application they are handed to.
Any ideas as to why OS X keeps "rescuing" these files?

Mac OS: Rescued Items Folder Appears in the Trash
This article describes the Rescued Items Folder that appears in the
Trash Can.
The Rescued Items Folder is created any time a Mac OS computer
starts up with items in the Temporary Folder. These items are then
moved from the Temporary Folder to the Rescued Items Folder in the
Trash so the user can inspect them.
The Temporary Folder sits at the root level of a drive, is
invisible to the user and applications can use it for any purpose.
Typically, this includes scratch files or temporary data files.
Yes - that is exactly what I use the Temporary Items folder for.
However, the temporary files are moved via RB to another location.
They do not stay in the Temporary Items.
