nautilus-script move/copy file

[bro]

Hi, I'd like to have a nautilus scritp that moves a file to my home directory. I found the script below that should copy it. It doesn't work. why not?

#!/bin/sh
# copyhome:  copies the selected file(s) to home directory
# (if able)

for arg 
do
   if [ -f ~/"$arg" ];    then
      MSG="File: '$arg' already exists in home directory. Overwrite?"
      if    
         gdialog --title "Overwrite?" --defaultno --yesno "$MSG" 200 100 
      
      then
         cp "$arg" ~/"$arg"
      fi
   else
     cp "$arg" ~/"$arg"
   fi

done

do you have to issue a command in a terminal to do this?

no i use nautilus scripts located in /home/~user/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ and I find them in the menu under my right mouse button. Like the ones at http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ only I can't find out how to actually make them myself (properly). Hence the question above, what's wrong with the script?

make sure the execute bit is set for the script also when copying/creating a new nautilus script in the scripts folder you may have to click the reload button to make nautilus regonize the changes
