Another possible solution ...

Your script creates (if not already there) a folder in ~/Library/Preferences/ (suggested location). Inside this folder, your script creates alias files that point to the desired folders. Your script gives these alias files names that are understood by your script.

I've used this technique, it works well and it's almost impossible to lose the target unless the user moves it to another disk. In which case your script asks for the new location, deletes the old alias file, and makes a new one.
