Here's a script that works;
tell application "Finder"
activate
set wdw to window 1
tell wdw
set current view to list view
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "a" using command down -- select all
keystroke "c" using command down -- select all
end tell
set itemsInFolder to the clipboard
set countOfItems to count of paragraphs in itemsInFolder
tell wdw to select {} -- deselect "All"
end tell
end tell
log countOfItems
