Isn't it just a matter of placing the right filename?
Let's see... I know OmniWeb uses a bkgd pic...
/volumeOrFolder/.background/background
So that's an image file named "background" in a folder named ".background".
Let's see how Watson does it...
/Watson 1.7.5/.background/backdrop.jpg
So I guess the name of the file doesn't matter, as long as it's in a hidden folder named ".background". Therefore you could do something like this:
do shell script "mkdir " & posixPathToVolumeOrFolder & "/.background ; cp -p " & posixPathToOriginalImage & " " & posixPathToNewDotBackgroundFolder
