John:
Assuming that your variables are defined somewhere else, I would embrace
the whole script with a timeout... and provide sufficient time to get the
whole job done.
It appears as if you've been using the Script Editor's record feature to
handle some of your script. Selecting everything is not usually
necessary before issuing a command. For instance -
tell application "Finder"
select file Pathtodata
move file Pathtodata to disk "untitled" with replacing
end tell
can be written simply -
tell application "Finder"
move file Pathtodata to disk "untitled" with replacing
end tell
However, if it's working for you, don't fix it.
A vanilla script is one that uses nothing more than the 'stock' Apple
Scripting Additions. I'm sure that clears things up.
I consider myself very much a newbie even though I've been 'casually'
scripting for about five years.
Have Fun.
Peter B.
