After spending a couple of hours trying to debug this, I vaguely remembered having read something about it.

With a normal user directory, "path to home folder" gives "Macintosh HD:Users:username:". But with a FileVault user directory, "path to home folder" just gives "username:" (which makes sense, since the home directory is effectively a separately mounted disk image"), but then

tell app "Finder"
                folder "username:"
        end tell

give an error: Can't get folder "username:"

Is this a known bug in Finder scripting with FileVault (or a "restriction")?


A couple of us were bitten recently by something similar, Neil:

There's some info floating about on bug id #3519134 - which might be connected. Here are a couple of links, FWIW:
