timeout not working?
timeout not working?

In a script i have a typical timeout command as follows
tell application "finder"
with timeout of 600 seconds
copy file (file) to folder (folder)
end timeout
end tell
this should allow 10 minutes for the file to copy. the problem is that i
get a script timeout after the normal 2 minute period.
This portion of my script is contained in another tell block that has
filemaker perform some actions before and after the file is copied.
Could my problem be that filemaker is the one actually timing out and
not the finder? Should the timeout be located somewhere else? Say,
before the tell app "finder"? I do have other scripts formatted in a
similar way where the timeout works as expected.
Any insight is appreciated.
