Problem with Filecopy writer

I have a workbench set up to detect changes between 2 sets of folders and then copy the new files from one set into the other, with some fancy formatting and fanning applied. The change detector works perfectly in this example I set up, it detects 17 changes and these are passed through an Attribute manager and onto the filecopy writer. Somehow though, the writer copies way more than 17 files that are passed to it so somehow that information is still getting to the writer, but I cant see how.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Figured out a work around. 16 of the changes detected were folders, and even though the filecopy writer is not meant to copy who folders it seems it did. I got around it by adding a AtrtributeFilter to filter through only files with a valid file extension (.pdf etc)
