I can get this to work using the directory property and relative paths.

on mouseUp
  # START WITH FOLDER NAME
  put "" into tName
  
  # ESTABLISH THE BASE PATH
  # ALWAYS DO THIS BEFORE CREATING ANY FOLDER
  set itemDel to "/"
  put item 1 to -2 of the filename of this stack into mypath
  set the directory to mypath
  
  # OPTION 1 - CREATE FOLDER IN SAME DIRECTORY AS STACK
  create folder "newuserfolder"
  rename folder "newuserfolder" to tName
  
  # OPTION 2 - CREATE NEW FOLDER ONE FOLDER UP IN HIERARCHY
  set the directory to "../"
  create folder "newuserfolder"
  rename folder "newuserfolder" to tName
  
  # OPTION 3 - CREATE FOLDER TWO FOLDERS UP IN HIERARCHY
  set the directory to "../"
  create folder "newuserfolder"
  rename folder "newuserfolder" to tName
end mouseUp
