That is an extremely weird line of code. Why in the world are you adding ""

It is a pretty horrible-looking line, but it's the "" that causes the ":"
to be added. It gets concatenated to the list of text items, which is
then coerced to string while the ":" delimiter is still active. Still,
I'd personally write:
set folder_ to text 1 thru text item -2 of (thisFile as text) & ":"
Both seem to work fine on my own 10.2.5 system.
