| Thank you to everybody who responded. I solved the problem by using Shane Stanley's code except that I turned it into a handler so I could use it in multiple places. The code I am now using is:
on getContainer(aliasToItem) set textPath to aliasToItem as text set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"} set theContainer to text item -2 of textPath set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
return theContainer end getContainer
Thanks again!
