This works for me (OS X 1.2.8):
set theFldr to (choose folder)
tell application "Finder"
try
set theFoldersList to (every folder of the entire contents
[line break]
of folder (theFldr as text)) as alias list
on error
try
set theFoldersList to (every folder of the entire contents [line
break]
of folder (theFldr as text)) as alias as list
on error
display dialog "There were no folders"
end try
end try
end tell

I thought I could coerce anything into a list?? I'm trying to list all
folders (in this case there is only one folder) into a list. However,
AS won't do it. What the?? The first part of this block works fine
for
multiple folders. However, when there is only one folder, I thought
the
second line in the block would work. What am I doing wrong? Here's
what I have.
----------- Code is below this line --------------
try
Set theFoldersList to (every folder of the entire contents of folder
thisQuickTimeFolder) as alias list
On error
Set theFoldersList to (every folder of the entire contents of folder
thisQuickTimeFolder) as list
