make new folder

I've got this code that ought to work ...

tell application "System Events"
if not (exists folder "background" of xxxxxx) then
set hFolder to (make new folder at xxxxxx with properties {name:"background"})


where xxxxxx is an alias. The first occurrence of xxxxxx always works, but the second always fails. I've tried making the second occurrence a posix path, a reference and some other things, but there's always the error: "System Events can't make xxxxxx into a type location reference." (or sometimes 'integer') I can't figure out what's happening here. Does anyone know?
