I've just noticed something that may be important. If I remove the phrase 'quoted form of ' from the script above, I don't get the error in the next-to-last line. I've tested this from the startup disk (desktop) and from another disk. Both times I got a valid alias in the last line.
I also renamed "TEST-FOLDER" ---> "TEST FOLDER", still worked.
Perhaps 'quoted form of ' is only necessary when using 'do shell script ...' (?) (I never use posix path with anything other than do shell script. Perhaps this is an example of a good habit going bad. ?:)
