Sounds like the same issue a number of us have run across. I found a
workaround which I posted to MacInTouch and this mailing list back in
May:
I've also been struck by the AppleScript bug where you can't access
files on a FileVault protected home folder (it also upsets the hot key
to open a Finder item in Super Get Info).
Mark has documented it at
<http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/panther/bugs.html>. My own test was
this AppleScript:
property Logs : alias ((path to library folder from user domain as
text) & "Logs:")
tell application "Finder"
open Logs
set theComment to comment of Logs
set labelIndex to label index of Logs
end tell
With my FileVault protected home folder this script will fail on the
'comment' line (and also the 'label index' line) with 'Finder got an
error: Can't get comment of alias "tom:Library:Logs:"'
The good news is I found a workaround: I created an empty 2 MB disk
image and named the image tom--the same name as my home folder. With
this disc image mounted, the above script works!
The script also works with a network volume mounted with the same name
as my home folder, which is how I found it.
Cheers
