You can also get the UUID in one shell command with no subsequent

Altneratively, you could use the -plist option to diskutil info to
get the result in XML property list form, and then use XMLlib.osax
to parse out what you need (it appears the standard additions plist
stuff won't accept input from a string, only from a plist file).

FWIW, I don't believe that ( "/Volumes/" + (name of disk) ) is
guaranteed to work in all cases, since if you have two disks with
the same volume name, the (name of) will return the same value for
both of them, while the mount point under /Volumes will necessarily
be different. This is a rare edge case that you might not want to
worry about.
Given the (not necessarily unique) volume name, one way to get a
unique disk identifier (the diskXsY version) is this:
set diskName to (do shell script "diskutil list | awk '($3==\"" &
(name of adisk) & "\") {print $NF}'")
but that's susceptible to a more likely problem, in that it won't
work if the volume name has a space in it...
True. As I discovered shortly after my last post. I should have
written ...
repeat with adisk in diskList
"diskutil info " & quoted form of (POSIX path of adisk)
set uuid to do shell script the result
So far, I have found that:
all of my internal HD partitions;
zip100 disks;
disk image disks;
my flash drives; and
CD and DVD roms that I burned;
do have a uuid.
