I have never had much luck with FolderActions. Can anyone shed some light on this for me. Here's what I want FolderActions to do for me:
Run this script:
Now I attach this to my Dropbox folder so that when I put a torrent in the folder it gets copied to my Movie Torrents folder where I have Transmission waiting to begin a new torrent. The only thing is, when I change this folder nothing happens. In fact, I've never gotten FolderActions to work consistently. I even tried adding an "delay 5" to the beginning of the script to make sure the file had copied entirely. Anyone?

Code:
set testString to "find ~/Dropbox \\( -type f -name \"*.torrent\" \\) -exec cp {} ~/Movie\\ Torrents \\;"
do shell script testString
