sset Dialog1 to itemCount & " file(s) copied." as text

I think you mean "set", not "sset", which doesn't compile for me (thought it might have been "string set" or something). 
I'm not real comfortable with that technique, since it first builds a list and then goes back and joins the stringified elements of that list together.  I don't, well, trust AppleScript to do the right thing there.  I'd much rather be explicit and make everything strings all the way through. :) 

Using ("" &) is a fine alternative to (as string) - saves space at the expense of what is, to my eyes, a slight loss of clarity.
