I cannot even successfully have the Finder make a folder on the Desktop!

tell application "Finder"
make new folder at path to desktop folder) with properties
{name:"folderName"}
end tell


Gives me this in the Error log:

tell application "Finder"
path to desktop
alias "TiBook_HD:Users:bplaney:Desktop:"
make new folder at current application with properties
{name:"folderName"}
"Finder got an error: Can't make a folder."


I am on 10.3.4 and logged in as the admin.

Any ideas?
