Finder error

Is there a problem with Finder's "move" command?

I've tried this two different ways with the same results:

1) set _the_list to (every item of folder sourceFolder)
move _the_list to folder destFolder

2) set selection to every item of folder sourceFolder
move selection to folder destFolder


When I run the script by itself, there is no error. But when I run the script
with a "run script" command from another script, I get an error AFTER the
files are moved. The move command is the last line of the script 
before an "end tell".

Both ways produce the same error:

Finder got an error: Finder got an error: AppleEvent timed out.

Is there a way to trap this when using "run script"?
