You're trying to duplicate a file to a string. You want to duplicate it to a folder.

Not to mention the fact that Finder's scripting doesn't understand POSIX paths like you're using, and even if it did, you're relying on the Finder's current working directory. Try this:

duplicate file "Server:Applications:Retrospect 6.0:StorageSets:2009 Daily BUs:2009-Q4" to folder "Workspace:taylore:Desktop:RETRODUMP"

You could also use the "POSIX file" construct instead of an HFS path.
