I think you're out of luck. While System Events' 'move' command works okay, 'duplicate' just gives an error:

Thank you

Alas move is not working for me  because I'm running 10.4.11 ;-)

set source to POSIX path of "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:calcDate.scpt"
set dest to POSIX path of "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:myFolder:"


tell application "System Events"
	move disk item source to end of disk items of disk item dest
end tell

Report is:

(*'/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/calcDate.scpt'*)
(*'/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/myFolder'*)
tell application "System Events"
move disk item "'/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/calcDate.scpt'" to end of every disk item of disk item "'/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/myFolder'"
"Erreur dans System Events : NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4"



set source to POSIX path of "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:calcDate.scpt"
set dest to POSIX path of "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:myFolder:"
log source
log dest



tell application "System Events" move disk item source to end of disk items of disk item dest end tell

(*/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/calcDate.scpt*)
(*/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/myFolder/*)
tell application "System Events"
move disk item "/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/calcDate.scpt" to end of every disk item of disk item "/Users/yvankoenig/Desktop/myFolder/"
end tell


No error message but it does nothing.

Same behaviour with:

set source to "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:calcDate.scpt"
set dest to "Macintosh HD:Users:yvankoenig:Desktop:myFolder:"

tell application "System Events"
	move disk item source to end of disk items of disk item dest
end tell

I will post a report (for the 10.5 behaviour).
