This isn't a FindFolder issue. I just tested on my Mac and the FindFolder call works as expected *if* you pass it the correct arguments.

Sounds like a bug in Standard Additions.

Here is a bug I just submitted.

Under 10.4.3, delete (not only trash) the user's temporary folder, that is:
~/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/


Now in Script Editor, run:

set x to path to "temp" from user domain.

According to the dictionary, this should make a new temporary folder, yet no folder is created, and the command triggers an error.

The bug is really in FindFolder(currvol, kTemporaryFolderType, kCreateFolder, &tempvref, &tempdir), which does not create the folder as it should.
