Not sure exactly what you mean by 'sudo /my/AppleScript'? The Applescript is not wrapped in a shell script. I suspect if it were, it would execute properly. I seem to recall having worked around this issue by doing that before.

The postinstall executable (AppleScript, shell script, whatever) is launched via a fork/exec from a UID 0 process. I'm not sure about how an AppleScript typically executes. It's possible that AppleScripts are always run through an interpreter that strips some credentials. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
