moving a folder in os X


  • Subject: moving a folder in os X

Hey all,
I'm using the following droplet script for moving a folder:

on open (folderRef)
tell application "Finder"
set destinationRef to (path to system folder)
move folderRef to destinationRef
end tell
end open

When I actually drop the folder onto it, I get the following message:
"item <<folder_name>> is used by Mac OS X and cannot be opened."
anybody know what I'm doing wrong here?
Regards,
Paul.
