Did you try trapping for the result in your script? Usually, "if the
result is not empty" can be used as a condition tester right after the
command that can possibly fail, followed by instructions for what you want 
done in this eventuality. Or, you can try to go for the more specific, "If 
the result is "Nothing to Copy.  Try
Background.""  Maybe you are saying that you tried this and it doesn't
work in this case. If so, sorry, I haven't tried it , just talking off the 
top of my head.
