I made some edits and this will work in Automator as a Quick Action:
on run {}
tell application "Finder"
set src_folder to get the selection as text
end tell
set src_folder to quoted form of (POSIX path of src_folder)
log "Source Fldr: " & src_folder
set dest to choose folder with prompt "Select destination for merge:"
set dest_folder to dest as text
set dest_folder to quoted form of (POSIX path of dest_folder)
log "Destination: " & dest_folder
set rootpw to "rootpw=$(cat ~/.pw_vault.txt | openssl enc <all the options> pass:'vaultpw')"
set cmd to "echo $rootpw | ditto -V " & src_folder & " " & dest_folder
do shell script rootpw
try
do shell script cmd
on error
do shell script cmd with administrator privileges
end try
log "Merge complete!"
log "Source Fldr: " & src_folder
log "Destination: " & dest_folder
end run
Unfortunately doesn't seem to work on Mavericks. :/
