Anything in /usr/local is something you put there yourself. That directory is one that Apple promises not to touch. If the version you have there is too old, install a new version the same way you installed the old version.
Or better yet, perform the task with the built-in tools:
do shell script "/usr/bin/chflags hidden " & result with administrator privileges
chflags only recognizes the hidden flag on (Snow) Leopard and later, but if you're getting a complaint about PPC code I assume you're on Lion. (You should have told us that.)
The flag that chflags knows as "hidden" is the same flag that Setfile knows as "-V" and Finder looks for in the file's FinderInfo field.
