Here's something weird:

The alias returned is completely invalid. I also tried 'file' instead
of
'application file', as well as "Finder" instead of "System Events", and
they all return the same bogus alias.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this?
Realize that you're asking a somewhat nonsensical question. If that
machine's disk isn't mounted (and arguably even if it is), then the
alias is fundamentally meaningless anywhere other than the remote
machine. What does it mean to have an alias to something on a disk
that, from your local machine's point of view, doesn't exist? Now, if
you just want the path, then you could convert the alias to a string,
but you'd have to do that on the remote machine. What are you actually
trying to do?
