Synching NAS to Folder on Local Machine

I am using applescript to duplicate files, replacing if a change, from one folder to another. It isn't deleting any extra remaining files/folder on the local side when done. Am I missing something?


property deleteFilesOnDest : false-- set it to true to move any items on the destination folder to the trash that aren’t on the source folder

set source to (POSIX file "/Volumes/Worship/Service Media") as alias

set destFolder to ((POSIX file "/Users/hitech/Desktop/TEST") as alias)

my syncFiles(source, destFolder)


on syncFiles(tDir, dest)

script o

property L : {}

end script

set itemsToCopy to {}

set dest to dest as string

tell application "Finder"

set o'sL to files of tDir

repeat with i from 1 to (counto'sL)

set f to itemi of o'sL

set destFile to (dest & name of f)

if not (existsfiledestFile) or (modification date of f) > (modification date of filedestFile) then

set end of itemsToCopy to contents of f

end if

end repeat

repeat with f in (get folders of tDir)

set destF to dest & name of f

if (existsfolderdestF) then

my syncFiles(f as alias, destF as alias)

else

set end of itemsToCopy to contents of f

end if

end repeat

with timeout of 0 seconds

if itemsToCopy is not {} then duplicateitemsToCopytodest with replacing

if deleteFilesOnDest then my deleteItems(tDir, dest as alias)

end timeout

end tell

return ""

end syncFiles


on deleteItems(dir1, dest)

script ob

property L1 : {}

property L2 : {}

property L3 : {}

end script


set ob'sL1 to list folderdir1

set ob'sL2 to list folderdest

set dest to dest as string

try

considering case

repeat with i from 1 to count (ob'sL1)

set x to (ob'sL2)'s itemi

if x is not in ob'sL1 then set end of ob'sL3 to (dest & x) as alias

end repeat

end considering

if ob'sL3 is not {} then tell application "Finder" to delete (ob'sL3) -- move items to the trash

end try

end deleteItems
