I am not sure why, but have you thought of using Spotlight to find them all?
The shell command is:
mdfind "kMDItemFSCreatorCode == 1297303877"
For some reason you have to give the decimal value for the creator code and
not the 4-character code. Perhaps you can use the hex value instead.
Does anyone know if there is a way of accessing Spotlight using AppleScript
mechanisms other than "do shell script"? If not, it should be requested.
