set applPosixPath to (item i of applPosixList)
set itemNamesList to my formatAndWrite(applPosixPath, itemNamesList, leaders, fileRefNr)
end repeat

although this shouldn't make a big difference, I suppose it will be faster to run your loop as

repeat with applPosixPath
in applPosixList
set itemNamesList to my formatAndWrite(applPosixPath, itemNamesList, leaders, fileRefNr)
end repeat

because it saves the overhead of counting the elements.
