Finder Timeout

I have a very simple script that does a backup from a mounted PC volume to a hard drive on my Mac.

<x-tad-smaller>tell</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>application</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> "Finder"


</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>set</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>source</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>to</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> "PROJ FOLDER"


</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>duplicate</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>source</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>to</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> "20GB IDE-2:" </x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>with</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>replacing</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>


</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>end</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>tell</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>

This script works just fine, however it takes several minutes to do the whole thing. About two minutes into the script's action I get an Applescript error

"Finder got an error: AppleEvent timed out"

The script completes correctly. Is there a way to suppress this error?

OSX 10.3.8

Thanks
