Charles,
I have the same problem with a similar set up. I have tried lots of different things but nothing works 100%. One method was using a loop that repeats until the script actually picks up the files (until the list of files is not empty).
I am assuming that the problem stems from how our network is set up. The Windoze server is still using an archaic AppleTalk sharing setup. I assume that the same problem that makes searching and browsing the shared drives so SLOW is somehow messing up the scripts operation as well.
If you want a sample script, just send me an email off-list.
Alex

I am writing a very simple script that reads the modification date of
a folder on a network share. The folder is on a Windows server and is
mounted on each of the Mac computers as xshare$. My script is also
located on xshare$.
