seeking some help

hello all, I seem to have run into a little impasse with a script I am
working on. I am attempting to create a little archiving system to keep my
system a little more organized, what I want is to make a new folder with the
name being the current date(adding timer would be nice); copying files from
my "downloads" folder to the new folder which will be created in a separate
folder named "downloads_archive". Then deleting the files from the
"downloads" folder.
With this script running AS 1.5.5 on a G4/500AGP OS9.1 I get an invalid key
response. Am I missing an OSAX? BTW- Alpha is the name of my HD

Thanks in advance.

Start Script********

property mainContainer : "Alpha:downloads_archive:"
property fromContainer : "Alpha:downloads:"

tell application "Finder"
set theDate to date string of (current date)
set mostRecentFolder to (make new folder at mainContainer with
properties {name:theDate})
move every item of fromContainer to mostRecentFolder
end tell

End SCRIPT*****
