It's worth a try. There have been some questions raised on this list about creator and type codes not being set right away and on the MPW list about modification times requiring so much time to be set that UNIX make operations are failing to recompile a modified source file.

A do shell script "sleep. . ." might behave differently than an AppleScript delay..
