"info for" always failing in Automator action script

I'm trying to write my first Automator Action script. But I can't seem to get information about files or folders. The following VERY SIMPLE script fails with an Automator dialog that says,

AppleScript Error
Finder got an error: File /System wasn't found. (-43)

I get pretty much the same error whether I try to get 'info for' within a Finder tell or not. Anybody know what's going on? Thanks.

on run {aInputs, aParameters}
    tell application "Finder"
        set itemInfo to (info for "/Users")
    end tell
end run
