OK, I guess it's not as bad as it sounds. But I'd still like to add to my collection if anybody has anything simpler.
property tmpfile : "/tmp/execme"
set theShellScript to "osascript -e 'set the item_info to info for (path to library folder)
set size_of_info to size of item_info'"
do shell script "echo" & space & quoted form of theShellScript & space & ">" & space & tmpfile
do shell script "chmod +x" & space & tmpfile
set theresult to do shell script tmpfile with administrator privileges
do shell script "rm" & space & tmpfile
theresult
