Hmm... You SURE about that, boo?

OMM, yes.

Seems to work for me:

tell application "Finder"
set thePos to position of disk 1
end tell

-->{ 240, 39 }

Is your disk really that far to the left? Wouldn't 740 be truer than 240?

also:

tell application "Finder"
set position of disk 1 to { 200, 100}
end tell

The only issue with setting the icon position is that the Finder takes a
while to notice, even if you issue an 'update' command.

The issue I had is this:

When I tried to set the position over here--------------->*

it was placed *<--------------over there.

Although... I think I had only tried it in 10.1, so maybe it was fixed in Jaguar?
