I had some problems doing a similar task (I can't remember the exact errors
but it was to do with the Script being too long). Could you make your
"SuperScript" into an application and then use the following to run it? This
worked well for me. You might need a "with timeout" statement around the
open application line too.
on adding folder items to
tell application "Finder"
open application ("Process_System:SuperScript" as alias)
end tell
end adding folder items to
Good luck,
Guy.
