Not quite. That's not the system library, it's the local (computer-wide)
library. You won't be able to make anything in the System Library without
being root, and it's not the one you'd want anyway. There is no Application
Support in /System/Library.
/Library - the computer-wide (but not System) Library is where you might
need to look - as long as you have admin privileges, you can. You can, I
suppose, simply remove 'from user domain' as you say. But why not be careful
and give it its proper path:
set appSupportPath to path to application support from local domain
