but once I changed "alias this_folder" to "this_folder" it was fine
(although I am still not sure why!).

Because "this_folder" is already an alias. Keep in mind that "alias" has at least two definitions. One is a construct such as "alias "mydisk:myfolder:mysubfolder:myfile"; and the other is an alias file that appears in a Finder window or on the Desktop.
