My problem comes when I want to quit the script. I have to force quit.
It makes my shutdown hang.

Any advice warmly welcomed :-)

"return" only terminates the execution of the current handler - namely, the "idle" handler. I think what you want is "quit" but if you replace your "return" with "quit" you will really be telling Finder to quit, which it will probably do. You've got to slightly amend your script and have a conditional "quit" outside the tell app "Finder" structure.

Something like (pseudo script): if n = 0 then set willQuit to true, else set willQuit to false, with timeout of 600 seconds move the files, end if, end tell, if willQuit then quit.
