Someone refresh my recollection of how to avoid a timeout in a script while waiting for the Finder to copy a large number of files to a thumb drive.
(Which under 10.5.2 seems to take much, much longer than it used to do.)
If you have the Finder in a tell block the script will time out in two minutes on Tiger.

Adam:
I think all you need is:
with timeout of XX00 seconds -- *more* than sufficient time for the script operation
-- do your stuff
end timeout
–
The timeout statement will not affect the amount of time required to run the script… only prevent the timeout.
