Strange sudden error when exporting photos from Applescript

Hello.

I have an Applescript that checks photos for certain tags and launch corresponding export recipes. It has been working fine for several months. All of a sudden yesterday it started breaking with the given error:

The operation couldn’t be completed.
/Volumes/Users/fritz/Library/Scripts/Capture One Scripts/Export variants.applescript:3580:3606: execution error: Capture One 23 got an error: Invalid process output folder. (-43)

From what I understand, the problem is that Capture One can't write to the destination folder of the recipe. But security permissions are fine (Capture One is allowed to write on removable drives, and all my photos stuff is there; in any case, I've even granted it full disk access and nothing changed), and — above all — if I manually run the export recipe from Capture One everything is fine.

I'm not aware of anything special that I've done in the twenty minutes between the latest successful run and the moment in which it started giving error.

The export is executed with the documented API:

tell _variant to process recipe _recipeName

This is driving me crazy and blocking my workflow.

The script source is available here:

Ok, understood and fixed. Even if I don't use them, I still have the default export recipes (such as 'A3 300dpi Print ready'), that export to the 'Catalog default' folder. Yesterday I deleted the folder that 'Catalog default' pointed to, since I don't use it. It seems that Capture One requires the 'Catalog default' export folder to be present even though the currently used export recipe doesn't use it.
