Create a Sandbox for apps using folder actions

That would be because it doesn't work that way. Once you run a setuid program, it, and anything it spawns runs as that user. It can't change back to your userid unless you've set it to run setuid root, and the hint explicitly mentions running the sandboxed applications as an unprivileged test user, not as root.
