More food for thought. It's beginning to look like the problem is
getting at things inside my home directory. For instance, this works:
set libraryFile to (alias "Macintosh HD:Users:elharo") as string
but this does not
set libraryFile to (alias "Macintosh HD:Users:elharo:Documents") as string
Could FileVault be interfering? But I am logged in as the user elharo...
