I used time machine to move all of my preferences/files into onto my new laptop running 10.6.3 from my iMac running 10.4.X. On the iMac I had the “show hidden files” automator running in 10.4 which it carried over into 10.6 and now I want to make it go away. But when I try to run the new "Service" (http://lists.apple.com/archives/automator-users/2010/Mar/msg00010.html) I get this message:

ACTION FAILED: defaults[258:60f] Unexpected argument killall; leaving defaults unchanged. (1)

Any idea what is going on?

This is the script that I'm running:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE killall Finder
 
Ugh never mind. I just realized there is a damn line break so it should read:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
