This script runs as it should:

tell application "Installer Observer"

activate

set Instance to the clock using form "%m-%d %h=80%i"

tell application "Finder"

set the name of file "Apple:Desktop Folder:Saved State" to Instance

move file Instance to folder "Apple:Backup:"

end tell

However this line from a calling script:

gives error(in Script Debugger3.0.1, -1712):

The "Scan" script apparently runs until it needs to move the file, then it

Can anyone help me with this?

When an applet calls another applet it waits for a return. If it
doesn't get one eventually it'll time out. You have two options: either
put a return statement at the end of your called script or bracket the
call in the calling script with "ignoring application responses" and
"end ignoring".
