I think that looks a bit better than the others we have seen... good job! With that said, there only needs to be an overwrite button since non-checked items would not be overwritten. The other thing that concerns me is in the situation where there are large number of overwrites. If the dialog only shows 3 and the third or fourth file is not slightly visible, the user has to depend on a scroll bar to see that there are more files that will potentially be overwritten. I am making the assumption here that the default would be the files would be checked for overwriting by default. If this is switched (not checked) the same issue occurs. The user may not overwrite the file that they wanted to overwrite. I hope this makes _some_ sense. Off hand an interface like this might be better suited for copying files to/from a remote source rather than a general overwriting dialog. Just brainstorming here...
