Wow, I misread your message more than once!
Really bad on my part!

Now I understand your question.

The first alias:  alias "OS_X:private:var:folders:eJ:eJwmSk7uFauWoGY2A+8Sok+++TI:-Tmp-:TemporaryItems:"
is the temporary items at the root level.  Nothing wrong with using it.

The second alias: alias "OS_X:Users:lutherfuller:Library:Caches:TemporaryItems:"
is indeed the temporary item at the user level.
So everything is fine. You can use either one in your script.
Both are going to be gone once the computer is restarted.
