Or just do it all with System Events, no need for get info:
set myFile to choose file
tell application "System Events" to set name of myFile to "." & name
of myFile
Or, since the point was to hide the file, use the file meta-data
that's designed to do that:
set myFile to choose file
tell application "System Events" to set visible of myFile to false
POSIX tools like ls(1) don't respect the "visible" bit, but file
browsers do.
