I think in in the case of certain long paths you can pass an alias in a
variable but if you coerce to text, you may see that error.

I had the problem with folder walking as per the essential subroutines. When
I used this form I occasionally got the error:

-------
on process_folder(this_folder)
set this_folder to this_folder as text
set these_items to list folder this_folder without invisibles
-------

When I took out the second line, although both forms seemed to work in most
cases, I didn't get the error any more.

-------
on process_folder(this_folder)
set these_items to list folder this_folder without invisibles
-------

This seems to have come up in Panther.
