Do shell script: find . takes forever; throws permissions error

Hi All,
When I run a script like the below from Terminal it is instant and successful.
find ~/Desktop .
Even though it returns a gazillion files, it's really fast.
But, when I run that from an AppleScript like below, it takes a very, very long time and eventually gives a permissions error.
do shell script "find ~/Desktop ."

Can someone help me figure out what's going wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks!
