Similarly, I used:
set theTest to do shell script "/usr/sbin/diskutil info disk0s2|grep UUID"
And got: Volume UUID: 48787315-5E05-3296-AE1E-E36318418E0C
As my result. So it is a way to get that info.

No worries dude. You didn't do anything wrong, unless you count "Not reading
someone's mind and giving them every possible permutation of what they MIGHT
need spelled out in small words" as "doing something wrong".
