Thanks.

Any examples on implementing such a thing? AS timeouts have always been an issue for me.

Has anyone else had issues with Folder Action reliability in something as
simple as this?

I created a reasonably complex system for a client a little while ago
(on Leopard server) and found that folder actions could be flakey
(viz, miss items and chew up CPU). For that job I switched to a
stay-open script which polled the folder and we never looked back.
