Try this version. Be sure that the path text is precise.
set originalFolderPath to "Central Storage:Shipping:EDI FILES:tmp:inv tmp:"
set newfolderpath to "Central Storage:Shipping:EDI FILES:Freeway:invoice:"
tell application "System Events"
set fileList to every file in folder originalFolderPath whose visible is true
end tell
tell application "Finder"
repeat with i from 1 to count fileList
set thisFilePath to ((item i of fileList) as alias)
if name of thisFilePath ends with "inv.txt" then
duplicate thisFilePath to (newfolderpath as alias) with replacing
end if
end repeat
end tell
