2) You've both noted that this only works on Leopard. Sadly, I need this script to work on Tiger as well. Is there a similar way to do this on Tiger? Is it acceptable to just use "~/Library/PreferencePanes/<my file>"?

Personally I'd use -

set fp to quoted form of POSIX path of ((path to "pref" from user domain as text) & "myfile")

I admit to being curious as to why you want it as a posix path instead of an alias. Are you using this in a shell script?
