The (free) Satimage osax includes a "backup" command which should be rather
easy to program in order to get your droplet work. Using "backup" is much
faster that scripting the Finder. Actually, "backup" copies files faster
than the Finder (on OS9).
Known feature of the "backup" command. You will fool it if you do the
following: backup a folder which contains a given folder "fold". Trash
"fold". Make a file at the same location with the same "fold" name.
Satimage osax for both OS9 and OSX is available from
