All,
NEW CLUE, The script works on my older iMac (OS 10.6.2) but still fails with the new 27" iMac (OS 10.6.2).
It fails at "tell application "Finder" to set theKind to (kind of
currentItem)" with the error;
Finder got an error: Can't get alias "Macintosh
HD: Users: RLP: Documents :Clutter: HTM L: photo:work folder:".

This (portion of) script ,after five years of using it, fails. What has changed?
on run
set myFolder to choose folder
tell me to open {myFolder}
end run
on open (droppedItems)
repeat with index from 1 to the count of droppedItems
-- display dialog (count of droppedItems) & " " & index & " " & droppedItems as string
set currentItem to (item index of droppedItems)
It used to be that the items in a drop list were aliases. But no longer in Snow. They are now class 'bmrk', I think. Try adding as alias after the last line, above, as in ...
set currentItem to (item index of droppedItems) as alias
