File Duplication Question

Hi All
Got a question that I just can't find a simple answer to.

I want to duplicate files from a local folder to another folder on a server

I will then move the file into a subfolder called "Processed" on the local machine.
Doing this is easy - so here is the question.

How do I change the name of the duplicated file on the server at the time of duplication.

I would think that"

Tell application "finder"
     set theFile to choose file
     duplicate theFile to Destination folder path on server with properties {name:"NewNameForFile.txt"}
end tell

But it doesn't.

I could duplicate the file to the destination folder
then reference the original file name at the destination path and rename it.

Extra steps and not very elegant coding.

Any clues as to what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance for you input.
Oakley
