Does the folder 'test' already exist?  If not then that causes problems with the above script.

You can check if a folder exists like this:

tell application "Finder"
    if not ("Macintosh HD:users:tdevore:tést" exists) then
        make new folder at "Macintosh HD:users:tdevore" with properties {name:"tést"}
    end if
    make new folder at "Macintosh HD:users:tdevore:tést" with properties {name:"tésting"}
end tell
