It's not even worth knowing the details, Mike. There were about 570 - 1200
things broken in Finder scripting of OS 10.0.0 thru 10.0.4. It's not worth
trying to script the Finder or to figure out what's wrong. Just upgrade to
OS 10.1.1 and most of it is fixed. You should just lay off Finder scripting
until you upgrade (like, today). About another 10,000 non-scripting things
also work better in 10.1.x. You're just punishing yourself by sticking in
10.0.x. Nothing will break in the upgrade, it only gets (much) better.
