I just spent two hours trying to discover why I was getting a -1700 error in Lion. Once I narrowed my search to a particular small handler, I finally tried replacing the line, above, with this ...
set sourcePath to (quoted form of POSIX path of (fileAlias as text))
Which, finally, fixed my script!
Hey Luther,

repeat 20 times try
set fileAlias to alias "Thor:Users:chris:Downloads:R-2.13.1.pkg"
set sourcePath to (quoted form of POSIX path of fileAlias)
log (do shell script "xattr " & sourcePath) & return
on error errMsg number errNum set sep to "==============================" set e to sep & return & "Error: " & errMsg & return & sep & return ¬ & "Error Number: " & errNum & return & sep beep e # display dialog e end try end repeat
