Solved - AppleScript changing file creation date

Problem solved. It requires Apple's developer tools package to be installed.

do shell script "/Developer/Tools/SetFile -d '01/01/2001 12:00:00' myfilename"

I note that the date and time are interpreted as UTC (or Greenwich Mean Time) so you just need to compensate for that.
