if you are referring to the folder alias as something like 'folder theAlias' try changing it to just 'theAlias' or 'item theAlias' and see what happens.

Is it possible to move a file into an invisible folder using plain vanilla
AppleScript (OS 9.x)?

I can get an alias to the "Cleanup At Startup" folder, but so far I haven't
been able to get the syntax correct to move a file into it... When I do
the move outside a tell block I get an error that the file doesn't
understand the move command, and if I tell Finder to move the file, Finder
tells me the invisible folder doesn't exist.
