Help! Source directory does not exist

[gardi-innovation]

Hi

This might be a very dense question, but I simply can not figure out why sortphotos has stopped working. I've used it for several years, but suddenly it can not find my source folder. I have tried for several hours, but simply can not figure out what is going on. I have reinstalled and also checked the call of os.path.exists(src_dir): in Spyder without any issues. My path is correct and it does indeed exist.

This is what I execute in Terminal on OSX 10.15.7

python sortphotos.py --sort %m %Y "/Users/USERNAME/PATH_TO_SOURCE_GOES_HERE/“ "/Users/USERNAME/PATH_TO_DESTINATION_GOES_HERE/“

And this is my output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sortphotos.py", line 506, in <module>
    main()
  File "sortphotos.py", line 503, in main
    args.use_only_tags, not args.silent, args.keep_filename)
  File "sortphotos.py", line 279, in sortPhotos
    raise Exception('Source directory does not exist')
Exception: Source directory does not exist

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
