It says that "modification date of file "/Applications/"" could not be read. This error happens with all possible properties of file objects. The file obviously exists and I have no clue why this does not work...
It's a folder, not a file.
One solution is to change the script to this:
set AS_path to POSIX file "/Applications/" tell application "Finder" set dat to modification date of (AS_path as alias) end tell
