Can anyone tell me why the second if statement does not work, while the third if statement works.

Property hotfolder: "Data"
Property errorfolder: "Data:deadfiles:";
Tell application "Finder"
Set flist to every file in folder hotfolder
Repeat with curfile in flist
Set nm to name of curfile as string
(1) If nm contains "id" --- works
Move file (hotfolder & nm) to folder errorfolder with replacing
End if
(2) If characters 6 thru 7 of nm = "id" - doesn't work, no error message, script exits and does not process remaining files in the folder.
Move file (hotfolder & nm) to folder errorfolder with replacing
End if
(3) If characters 6 thru 7 of nm = "gs" - works
Move file (hotfolder & nm) to folder errorfolder with replacing
End if
End tell
