| Hi Nathan,
I believe that when you use Terminal, the shell is already logged into your account (gives the prompt). When using AppleScript, it creates a new shell that is not logged into your account.
Furthermore, AppleScript takes a long time to do some stuff anyway.

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?
