Aha! Okay, I got it work. The above web page helped. Apparently 
applescript doesn't want you to escape spaces in shell commands even 
while it is using POSIX paths. And I was using the wrong quote marks.

This now works, and it is a one-liner:

do shell script "chmod 777 '/Library/Application Support/myFolder/'" 
with administrator privileges

I wish AppleScript worked like Revolution. Life would be so much easier.
