Busy waiting is usually a bad idea; instead, in my otherwise almost
identical script, I do:

        tell application "PGPdisk"
                activate
                with timeout of 24 * 60 * 60 seconds
                        open (alias "GraySystem:Documents:Eudora")
                end timeout
                quit
        end tell

which will wait for a day for the passphrase to be entered (hopefully
enough :-)
