That's the first thing I tried and it didn't work. But now I know why,
because Finder can't access an invisible folder. So if I say:

App folder opens OK, but:

tell application "Finder" to open folder "Volumes" of the startup disk


You could do something like this:

tell application "Finder" to update ("/Volumes/Font HD" as POSIX file)

or, I would think, even delete the alias file, if necessary.

Or use do shell script to create and then delete a dummy file there...

do shell script "touch /Volumes/deleteme; rm /Volumes/deleteme"
