For some things you need to authenticate as an admin user even when you don't wish to. In this particular case, comment out the "with administrator privileges" part and see if the script will function. I don't believe it will as you are changing the owener and group of admin owned files.
You can put your password in the script if you choose but that is a very insecure thing to do.
