Yes. You seem to have asked for the creator type of "a string" to be set.
The Finder will only change creator types of files, not strings. (It's one
of the few coercions the Finder doesn't do.) Have you tried:

tell app "Finder"
set creator type of file "filePath here" to "something"
end tell


Also "something" should be a real creator type, of course.
