Your problem is that you're calling 'list folder' to get the folder's
contents. This will, of course, include all existing files in that folder.
Instead, use the list of files that are passed into your handler.
In the case of:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
"these_items" is the list of files that have just been added. If you change
your upload line to reference 'these_items' rather than the results of the
list folder command, you'll be all set.
So, instead of:
repeat with myitem in myFolderItems
use:
repeat with myitem in these_items
