Oops - I realized you're probably wanting to run this over a network, to get
info on remote machines. Which means you have to *launch* file sharing
before you can query it. So here's my modified sample code; note the first
tell block.

- pete -
--------
tell application "Finder" of machine "remotemac"
open application file id "shcp"
end tell
tell application "File Sharing" of machine "remotemac"
get computer name
get owner name
end tell
--------
