If the "Student Report" folder doesn't already exist then it won't be
created automatically. Try this:

if the platform = "MacOS" then
      put specialFolderPath("home") & specialFolderPath("asup") &"/" &
"Student Report" into tfilePath
      if there is no folder tfilePath then
          create folder tfilePath
      end if
      put "/" & "list" after tfilePath
 end if
