I got a copy of TeXShop so I could test this. Here is a script that seems to do what want, according to your original script (above). (But, I'm not sure.)
set destination to alias "OS_X:Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:TeXShop aliases" -- a file system pointer tell application "TeXShop" repeat with this_document in documents try (POSIX file (path of this_document)) as alias -- another file system pointer tell application "Finder" to make new alias file to the result at destination -- creates an alias file in the destination folder end try end repeat end tell
I had to use a 'try ... end try' block in case there was a new unsaved document window open which, of course, has no path. Now, we can discuss why this works, if there are further questions.
