I'm not clear on what you are saying.
BONK! Re-reading your post was like getting hit on the head with a hammer.
It's now clear as a bell (and hurts too.) You're trying to save your script
as a droplet! Droplets cannot be attached as folder actions. Save it as a
compiled script and things should be fine.
Scripts become droplets when they include code that has an 'on open
handler', and are saved as applications, eg:
on open theFile
-- do something with theFile
end open
Ouch! Sorry.
