Thanks. It's the space in "Application Support" that is causing the 
trouble. I ran it in the Applescript editor and it really doesn't like 
my file path. If I use slashes, it complains and won't compile. If I use 
colons, it puts out two errors:

  No such file or directory ":Library:Application:"
  No such file or directory "Support:myFolder:"

Blech.
