10.6.1 error "The Finder is busy." number -15260

Just downloaded and installed the 10.6.1 update. The Finder already seems faster to me (even than 10.6). However…

I'm getting the 
--> error "The Finder is busy." number -15260

from a simple request for a folder

tell application "Finder"


-- more code


try
with timeout of 1000 seconds
set the_folder to (folder "My Folder" of home)
end timeout
end try
--> error "The Finder is busy." number -15260


-- more code


end tell

basically what happens is the Finder alert box comes up 
"The operation can't be completed. 
An unexpected error occurred (error: - 43)."

The alert box comes up only when it is run from Applescript Editor. When it is run as an application it just quits and brings up the standard Application quit unexpectedly alert box.

Is there something built in that kills an applescript if the Finder is busy now? or is it just the alert box that is continuing to make the Finder unavailable?? 

Is there another way around it I don't know about?

Todd
