All file I/O is best accompanied with an error check. If that includes a 
call to sysError you'll see exactly what the OS is trying to tell you.

    create folder tURL
    if the result is not empty then
        answer the result &" ("& sysError() &")"
        exit to top
     end if


I'd wager permissions. /Library is a system folder. 
/Users/<username>/Library should be writable, though.
