Result:

error "Finder got an error: Can’t make preferences into type constant." number -1700 from preferences to constant

I just checked my script and found that I am NOT telling the Finder to do this.

The last test I sent my user asks for

set prefsAlias to (path to preferences from user domain)

perhaps his problem involves user domain. We shall see.
