I'm having a problem with (f as alias) where f is clearly a posix
path.
(Emmanuel, did you get any error with (f as alias)?)
I have never had any trouble converting an alias to a posix path for
use in a 'do shell script ...'.
This afternoon, I have been trying to convert a valid posix path to
an alias.
This seems to be impossible.
A search turned up this recent remark:

After experimenting with this for awhile, I found that 'hfsPath'
isn't really an hfs path.
I've broken the example into steps, as follows:
alias "OS_X:Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:symlink Testing:TEST-FOLDER"
set posixPath to (quoted form of (POSIX path of the result))
posixPath as text --> '/Users/lutherfuller/Desktop/symlink Testing/
TEST-FOLDER/'
the result as POSIX file --> file
":':Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:symlink Testing:TEST-FOLDER:'"
the result as text --> :':Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:symlink
Testing:TEST-FOLDER:'
the result as alias --> Error:
file :':Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:symlink Testing:TEST-FOLDER:'
wasn't found.
log the result
Surely, there is a simple way to convert a valid posix path to an
alias, but I haven't found it yet.
In other words, (f as alias) always errors ... at least for me!
set le_chemin to "" & (path to desktop) & "CDpourMuriel.txt"
set validPOSIXpath to POSIX path of file le_chemin
tell application "System Events"
set hfsPath to path of disk item validPOSIXpath
end tell
set hfsAlias to hfsPath as alias
