find problem

Subject: find problem

I am using ...

quoted form of (POSIX path of searchFolder)

do shell script "find " & the result & " -name " & filename & " -type d"

to get a list of aliases to folders with the name filename.

It works very nicely when searchFolder is a folder, but I would like to search a disk.

That's where I encounter the problem. When I search a disk, I get multiple errors of the form:

/Volumes/Work_Files//.Spotlight-V100:Permission denied

all involving invisible folders.

Is there any way to work-around these errors?

Is there any way to suppress these errors from the 'find' command ?
