First you need newNode.save() after setting the name.

Second, the rule is triggered by something arriving in the parentFolder (presumably the document Library). So Document A arrives & it goes off & tries to create the folder structure. In creating the folder structure SourceNode.copy(destNode1, true) creates a folder structure in the folder that has the rule on it so the rule triggers again.

Try adding to your rule trigger "document type is not a folder" or "document tyoe is cm:content". That may solve your issue.
