Aliases and Assimilator

I would like some help writing a (simple?) AppleScript to aid me with using
Assimilator.

After copying a disk to my server, I need to "fix the aliases" so they
point to the original file on the image, rather than the original computer
(through the network).

I think I can identify all files in a folder which are aliases. Something
like "set alias_list to every file in folder "Disk Image" whose alias
property is true" I know it's not 100% correct, but I think that's close.

But what do I do then?

Basically, what I need to do is 1) identify all alias files, 2) discern
where the original file is on the local disk image and 3) re-create an
alias from the true original to the current location of the existing alias.

Can some one help me with step 2?

Thanks!

David
