«Helps out the Finder when it can't empty the trash
«I was getting a "Too Many Nested Folders" error from the Finder.
«This script was able to empty the trash without the error...
«It's nested within a "try" so that it doesn't get stop running if it encounters
«a busy file, or some other wierdness (this is likely, because the Finder was
«having a problem...).
