The problem is that he didn't traverse the files backwards from the end.

Actually, it was both.

tell application "Finder"
set thePath to (startup disk as text) & "Users:rdonaghy:Documents:testScript:"
set theCount to count of items in thePath

theCount is now the number of characters in the string thePath, not the number of files in that folder.
