This approach assumes the time spend doing the copying is negligible
(because it waits 20 seconds from the *end* of a copy to the *beginning* of
the next copy). Copying speed depends on the size of the file, system load,
speed of the filesystem hardware, etc. -- way too many variables to make
that assumption. Richard's similar script, which I saw after this one, has
the same limitation.
Also, you want an infinite loop, not 2000 repetitions ... as illustrated in
Richard's suggestion.
