hopefully you used CpMac, or perhaps those files didn't have
any resource forks or metadata ...

Actually, this reminds me of something...are AppleScripts granted root priveleges, or is there a way for sudo commands to also offer the password?

if you want the AppleScript itself to run with root
privileges, other than logging in as root first, the only
solution i know of is:

sudo osascript my_script_file

however such scripts can't do any user interaction (e.g.
dialogs).

i've also tried dropping AppleScripts on Psuedo (a nice
application authorizing tool), but it fails with an error in
the console.

of course, to simply authorize a shell command from within
AppleScript:

do shell script "whatever" with administrator privileges [password "whatever"]
