running a script from a script

I am trying to time-bomb a script that conditionally runs another script if files exist in a certain directory.

The first script fails with a time-out error after successfully running the second script.
Here is the code:

The Script:

set sourceFolder to "HD1:To_Be_Sent:"
tell application "Finder"
set theList to (every item of folder sourceFolder whose kind is not "folder")


if (count of the theList) > 0 then
set Mail_It to "OSX:Users:jimbrandt:Library:Scripts:OS X Scripts:Mail It.scpt"
with timeout of 300 seconds
run script (alias (Mail_It))
end timeout
end if
end tell



The Event Results:

tell application "Finder"
get every item of folder "HD1:To_Be_Sent:" whose kind ≠ "folder"
{document file "JPB.txt" of folder "To_Be_Sent" of disk "HD1"}
run script alias "OSX:Users:jimbrandt:Library:Scripts:OS X Scripts:Mail It.scpt"
"Finder got an error: Finder got an error: AppleEvent timed out."


Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
