Hi, so I've been getting into applescript, and Folder Actions, and I wrote this script... Which copies all new screenshots to a variety of locations when they are added to the folder. However, when I use that script as the foundation for my next idea (if the file is a DMG file, copy to a different variety of locations), it fails.
Original Script used as foundation
http://pastie.org/private/t9vkbp5y8rvrvwqts4mciw
Last draft of failed DMG script.

- Also attached both scripts as images.
Does anybody have an idea about what I'm doing wrong? I'm stumped.
And yes, I name my folders/servers/external HDs after Legend of Korra / The Last Airbender characters.. I'm a geek like that.
Thanks for the help.

Code:
on adding folder items to thisFolder after receiving added_items
set OpalLoc to "Opal:Backups:DMGs"
set MingHuaLoc to "MingHua:Root:Backups:DMGs"
set GhazanLoc to "Ghazan:Backups:DMGs"
set ZukoLoc to "Tom:Users:tom:Cloud:Zuko:DMGs"
repeat with addedFile in added_items
tell application "Finder"
if exists folder OpalLoc and (the name of the addedFile ends with "dmg") then
copy file addedFile to folder OpalLoc
end if
end tell
delay 1
tell application "Finder"
if exists folder MingHuaLoc and (the name of the addedFile ends with "dmg") then
copy file addedFile to folder MingHuaLoc
end if
end tell
delay 1
tell application "Finder"
if exists folder GhazanLoc and (the name of the addedFile ends with "dmg") then
