I got time at noon today to try this again. I seems that you have to unselect an item in order to select the next item in the list. Once I got the correct placement of the 'select' commands, this demo script works.

set folderAlias to alias " ... " -- your test folder here. It should be set to column view.

tell application "Finder"
activate
open window of folderAlias
my scanFolders(folderAlias)
end tell
beep
delay 1

on scanFolders(folderRef)
tell application "Finder"
select folderRef
copy (get sort folders of folderRef by name) as alias list to subFolderList
repeat with subFolderRef in subFolderList
my scanFolders(subFolderRef)
delay 0.2
end repeat
select {}
end tell
end scanFolders -----------------------------------


I haven't tried 'reveal' or 'target' yet. And I don't think I will use column view to display activity, but now that I know how, it may be useful in the future. Thanks for your comments.
