It's a bit hard to help without knowing what the error is, and on which
line you get the error message. If script does not throw an error, but
simply does not work, then the log would be most helpful.

copy "Macintosh HD:Script_folder:Count_rename_files:" as text to

Minor point: "as text" is not necessary; it is already text.
set searchFolder to alias (the_vol & "Folder_in")
set destinationfolder to alias (the_vol & "temp")
set rename_file to alias (the_vol & "rename")
set destination_file_folder to alias (the_vol & "filer_ut")
set myList to list folder destinationfolder without invisibles
Major point: destinationfolder is already an alias; don't prepend
"folder" to it.
repeat with myFilename in every item of myList
set movefile to alias (the_vol & "temp:" & myFilename)
Potential major point: There is no file there, unless you have
duplicate files in temp and destinationfolder
tell application "Finder"
set name of file movefile to characters -1 thru -4 of
(myFilename) as string
Minor point: It would be better to use "text -1 through -4 of
myFilename"
end tell
end repeat

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
