That is *very* crafty! :-)

Unfortunately, if the desktop's on a shared disk, the description for an
ordinary folder will mention the fact (Mac OS 9.0.4):

"Owner folder

This is a folder on a shared disk. You are the owner of this folder."

Changing "disk" to "disk " in your line could be the answer.

every folder of desktop whose description does not contain "disk "
