Hot Folder for FTP Script

Question

I'm trying to make a folder on my Mac that is a "Hot Folder." I want this folder to have an action/script that as soon as it sees a new file added it will open Fetch and upload via mirror to an FTP folder.
I was able to make the Fetch portion of the script without issue, but making the folder "Hot" is a bit more difficult for me. I tried to use some script from the sample script "add - new item alert" but have been unsuccessful. I'm hoping some of you Applescript pros can review this and tell me how to correct. Or perhaps you know of a better way to make this work with automator.
SCRIPT:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
try
tell application "Finder"
--get the name of the folder
set the folder_name to the name of this_folder
end tell
-- find out how many new items have been placed in the folder
set the item_count to the number of items in the added_items
--create the alert string
if the item_count is greater than 1 then
tell application "Fetch"
activate
make new transfer window at beginning with properties {hostname:"ftp.hostname.here", username:"myusername", password:"mypassword", initial folder:"/pub/pao/images/"}
mirror alias "Macintosh HD:Users:Bill:Desktop:test:" to url "ftp://myusername:@ftp.hostname.here/pub/pao/images/" format Automatic without delete strays
end tell
end if
end try
end adding folder items to
Thank you all!

Well, then. I thought wrongly, I haven't used those in a very long time and thought they were saved.
