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
I would use the path to instruction to get rid of possibles typos.
set libraryFile to (path to documents folder) as text
--> "<startupVolume>:Users:<userAccount>:Documents:"
set p2Home to path to home folder
--> alias "<startupVolume>:Users:<userAccount>:"
set p2Start to path to startup disk
--> alias "<startupVolume>"
