I strongly recommend naming that folder "BU_061102_1100" so that

properly by name after you have a bunch of them.
Ask if you want more on a shell script after the AppleScripters
have their
say.
Sounds like a one line AppleScript to me ;-)
tell application "Finder" to duplicate files of (desktop's folder
"theFolder") to (make new folder at (desktop's folder "OE_BkUps") with
properties {name:"BU_" & (get (((current date) as «class isot») as
string)'s
(words of it) as text)})
The resulting folder is named BU_20061103T101147 which is not exactly
what the OP asked for.
