One thing you need to careful about is confusing the finder.

    Make new folder at folder "vol:dir:dir"

Is a valid command, but

    Make new folder at folder alias "vol:dir:dir"

Is not.

    Make new folder at alias "vol:dir:dir"

Is a valid.

It's hard to tell if the OP is using aliases or strings in those variables.

HTH,

Es
