Last week I asked for help with a script to copy files from one folder to another. Thanks to Andrew Oliver and Gnarlodious for the help that got it working, and in a much simplified fashion. I connected it to the folder as a folder action, and it worked for about a day. I detached and re-attached it, and it lasted for about a day again, then quit working. I came back to work after two days off - they manually copied the files Sunday and Monday - and did the detach-reattach thing again, and it lasted for about 2 hours before it quit.

I thought a folder action, once set, would work as long as the folder is open. I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

Which version of Mac OS are you using?

Does it help if you change this line:
duplicate added_items to folder "Online:PDF'S:In"

To:
duplicate added_items to folder "Online:PDF'S:In:"

?
