When building the project for distribution using the Archive build mode, the following error appears. When building in debug or release mode everything works fine. The mentioned directory is empty. The directory permissions are set to full access for the current user. Any ideas?
CopyStringsFile /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ProjectName-bikjmxotbfpkybhkqwlxysxcibrk/ArchiveIntermediates/ProjectName/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/ProjectName.app/es.lproj/Localizable.strings ProjectName/Resources/es.lproj/Localizable.strings
cd /Users/username/Coding/proj/game/ProjectName
setenv PATH "/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/git/bin"

This happened to me when I had duplicate references to a folder added to the project. Deleting the duplicate references fixed it.
