How to get a string of full paths from all files inside a folder (including subfolders)

Hi, I need a string of full paths of all files (more than 10,000) inside a
certain folder (important: including all subfolders).

I always used SatimageOSAX to achieve this, which works really fast.

But now on MacOSX Catalina there seems to be a difference between referring a
local folder and a folder on a server volume (Server has High Sierra installed):

Below script (run from a Catalina Mac) still works fine on a local folder:

-- folder on local harddisk"
use application "SatimageOSAX"
set myMegaString to (list files alias
"Macintosh_HD:Users:bertus:Documents:Applescript:Out of Home:Out of Home
subomgeving:HiRes_Images (lokaal):FarmFrites:") -- as string

But exactly the same script doesn’t work on a folder from a server volume
(invalid file reference it says):

--folder on a server volume:
use application "SatimageOSAX"
set myMegaString2 to (list files alias "Klanten_A_Z:O:OutOfHome Partners:OOH
BEELDBANK:FarmFrites:") -- as string


Below is an example (of a string of 2 files) of what I need eventually:

Macintosh_HD:Users:bertus:Documents:Applescript:Out of Home:Out of Home
subomgeving:HiRes_Images (lokaal):FarmFrites:931003_Farm Frites Sweet Potato
Fries_300dpi_780x1181px_Y_NR-1456.jpgMacintosh_HD:Users:bertus:Documents:Applescript:Out
 of Home:Out of Home subomgeving:HiRes_Images (lokaal):FarmFrites:931003_Farm
Frites Sweet Potato Fries_1181x1020px_Y_NR-800.jpg

How can I do that on a folder on a server volume while still using SatimageOSAX?
OR: how can I do this without using SatimageOSAX? Is there some "do shell
script" to achieve this? Can anyone post example code? I really shouldn’t know
how to do this myself.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Bert Groeneveld.
