revCopyFile uses Applescrip which is blocking! At least in Rev, but

using the same script with the AppleScriptEditor!? :-/
Using "shell" is also blocking!
This has come up a few times on the list, and basically revolves
around using a shell command that sends it's output to a text file
instead of back to Rev.
Rev carries on because as far as it's concerned the shell command has
finished, then you can do some kind of loop checking the output text
file, without blocking.

You might try something like:
get shell("mylongcommand > output.txt &")
This should redirect the output to a file and return immediately.
It's not as clean as triggering a "done" message with new syntax
would be, but it may be workable. You might try searching the
archives - I seem to recall discussing this one many moons ago...
