Thanks,
 
I've put a pretty big delay, 15 seconds to be sure, and it works but I'm not very happy with this solution. An "update" finder command if existed would have been better though.

You mean like the Finder's "update" command? That is what I would try.

By the way, I'm not finding the Finder faster at self-updating from changes
in Snow Leopard. If anything it's slower. I copy an app, the copy finishes,
but the icon does update properly until like five seconds later. I select
files and delete them, nothing happens for a few seconds, then they finally
head off to the trash.

So it may be that you need to introduce a "delay" into the script... m.
