Folder Action Script Question

I am sure this is something simple I am missing. I am trying to set up a
watched folder and can't get anything to work. I am running OS 9.2.2 and AS
1.8.3. I have a simple script and am attaching it to a folder on the
desktop. I have the folder's window open. When I drop an item into the
folder, nothing happens. Please tell me what I am missing here. Thanks in
advance...

Here is the code for the entire script:
on adding folder items to theFolder after receiving theFiles
tell application "Finder"
repeat with aFile in theFiles
move aFile to the trash
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to

I even tried this and it does not work:
on adding folder items to theFolder after receiving theFiles
beep
end adding folder items to

I'm sure it's something stupid I'm missing...
