Applescript: "Expected end of line but found identifier"

I've got some AppleScript code in a short script someone asked me to edit:

repeat with i from 1 to nDirs
    set impf to folder i of importFolder
    my convertFolder(impf,exportFolder,userValue)
end repeat

Whenever I try to save it or compile it, though, the AppleScript editor tells me "Syntax error: expected end of line but found identifier" while pointing to the little 'i'. Is my syntax for the binding of impf incorrect? How can I get this script compiling?

Change folder to item.

I'm assuming you want to only "convert" folders, so add "error-checking" (in this case, folder-checking) before calling convertFolder...

if (impf as string) ends with ":" then my convertFolder(impg, exportFolder, uservalue)
--Alias references ending with a ':' indicate that the item is a folder
