attempt to move files from Unix path finds 0 files?

Okay, I'm trying to work up a Folder Action which will move files to a folder on a different disk.

I have the files:

/var/spool/cups-pdf/williamadams/job_614-Ad_Ledge_JACC_1_8_13_pdf.pdf
/var/spool/cups-pdf/williamadams/job_615-Microsoft_Word_-_TP_U_of_Chicago__331489_doc.pdf

but running this test script:

set destFolder to ((POSIX file "/Volumes/AraxiVolume_HW11913_T/Jobs/Elsevier_Classifieds_T/UserDefinedFolders/Input Files") as alias)

set sourceFolder to ((POSIX file "/var/spool/cups-pdf/williamadams") as alias)


set added_items to contents of sourceFolder
tell application "Finder"
	repeat with oneItem in items of added_items
		move oneItem to folder destFolder
	end repeat
	--delete every item of this_folder
end tell

has the result:

tell application "Finder"
	count every item of alias "Macintosh HD:private:var:spool:cups-pdf:williamadams:"
		--> 0
end tell

What is wrong?
