Well, I see for in syslog.log

Nov 15 19:08:43 localhost scanbd: scanbd: exec for
/usr/share/scanbd/scripts/copy.script
Nov 15 19:08:43 localhost scanbd: scanbd: execlp: No such file or directory

which meens that your script isn't found ... but the action is triggered
from the scanner (once in this log).
