Folder Action keeps dying

I don't know what's going on. I have an Applescript Folder Action that
copies files put in one folder into another folder. Distiller is
running constantly, pdfing the copied files. For some reason the Folder
action just stops after a while. Someone told me they have seen Folder
Actions spontaneously disable when programs are running constantly, but
all that is required is that Folder Actions be enabled again for the
script to start running.
When I learned that, I set up cron jobs to reenable Folder Actions
every 3 hours. It stopped after 24 hours. So I bought Script Timer,
hoping it would do the job and set it to run the script every 1/2 hour.
It made it past 24 hours, and stopped after approximately 30 hours.
Unless someone can help me figure out why I can't keep a folder action
going, my next step is either a crash course in shell scripting or a
script to start Distiller every so often, and kill distiller when the
in-folder is empty.
Oh, I'm running OS X 10.2.6 on Xserve w/XserveRAID
