What else can go wrong with a folder action, that could cause it not

The System Events application must be running for Folder Actions to
work.
You'll find it in /System/Library/CoreServices. Drag it onto the System
Preferences Login window so that it will launch every time you log in.
I thought it must already be running, because I can attach the sample
action that shows a dialog when items are added, and it runs.
But you may be right, because I cd'ed into that directory and did "open
"system events.app"" (wouldn't let me go in via the Finder) and now my
folder action does run!
Thanks,
John
