'Cleanup At Startup' is not one of the special folders known to "path to"
(AS 1.3.7)
this works here:
set x to "Cleanup At Startup"
set target to (((path to startup disk) as text) & x) & ":"
set targetAlias to alias target --> alias "Booty:Cleanup At Startup:"

I've been using it a lot recently, whatever is in temporary items shows
up in the trash at next reboot. When using temp items I use the name
"mytempfile" and overwrite it in subsequent uses, at reboot I always
check a bulging trash and won't have to check what mytempfile is.
