(SOLVED) Help with GMFileSystem

So i'm having an issue...
My script below uses GMFileSystem extension...
It's supposed to copy a file from inside some folders in working_directory....

However, it shows my message "No OUT file"
meaning the file didn't get copied out of the sandbox.

FS_file_copy() and/or FS_file_exists() MUST be the culprit...
I just don't know why...

Code:
///FS_COPY_SafeSaveFile_OUT(number, SAVETYPE)
var copyNum = real(argument0);
var saveType = argument1;


var BS = "/";
var folderdood = "ShootAndLoot/SavedChars";
var filenamedood = "SavedChar"+string(copyNum);

if saveType == SAVETYPE.gun{
folderdood = "ShootAndLoot/SavedGuns";
filenamedood = string(copyNum)+".CUSTOM_GUN"
}
else if saveType == SAVETYPE.gunMap{
folderdood = "ShootAndLoot/SavedGuns";
filenamedood = string(copyNum)+".CUSTOM_GUN_MAP"
}

   if directory_exists(working_directory+folderdood)
   {
   if file_exists(working_directory+folderdood+BS+filenamedood)
   {
   FS_file_copy(
   working_directory+folderdood+BS+filenamedood,
   global.DriveLetter+folderdood+BS+filenamedood
   )
   //check for the copy
   if FS_file_exists(global.DriveLetter+folderdood+BS+filenamedood)
   {return true}else{show_message("No OUT file")}
   }else{show_message("No sandbox file")}
 
   }else{show_message("No dir")}
 
   return false;

global.DriveLetter + /ShootAndLoot/SavedChars exists as far as FS_directory_exists() is concerned, and i ca see it at C:/ShootAndLoot/SavedChars...

I've tried everything I can think of....
- Changed backslashes to forward slashes...
- removed the slash on the end of folderdood... and added when needed...
- removed working_directory from FS_file_copy...

I'm using version 1.4.4a of the extension found here.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated...

Edit: fixed it by replacing
working_directory
with
game_save_id
