Does anyone know the cause of this error? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To answer your question, in line 3 of your script you ask for the "items in thePath". thePath is a string, and so you get a list of every character in the string. If you substitute
set theCount to count of files in folder thePath
you should get what you intended.


But, as previously posted, your routine can be shortened (and, IMO, clarified) considerably.
