Hey Alex,
I've already hashed this out with Jon and Axel. I don't need a solution to the problem I needed an answer to my question. :)
In this case I don't want to interrogate each file for the quarantine property. All I want to do is run xattr -d against all items in the front window and let the chips fall where they may.
Nor did I want to put the do shell script in a blind try-end-try block. I wanted to negate the error in the shell, and Jon and Axel both provided nearly the same method to do that.
It's simple enough to find items that have the quarantine bit set:
xattr * | egrep -i "quarantine"
Recursively:
xattr -r * | egrep -i "quarantine"

Best Regards,
Chris
