Confusing the finder

I've found the source of my problem with getting lists of folders using this code.

ProcessFolder(choose folder)

on ProcessFolder(main_folder)
    set folder_list to {}
    tell application "Finder"
        set folder_list to every folder in main_folder
    end tell
end ProcessFolder

I can choose "Macintosh HD" and get a list just fine. However when I choose my Home directory, Applescirpt complains "Finder got an error: Can't get every folder of alias "gregjsmith:"." (my user name is gregjsmith). I also have filevault on so my user folder is really a sparse image. When I mount my iDisk, in which my .mac username is also gregjsmith, I can choose my home folder and it will successfully get a folder list from my iDisk. So it would seem that the finder get confused as to which disk I choose.
