Uh ... I don't know. I'm on a 9.2 machine right now, and I left my X machine at home. I don't know how to access the desktop, or how the first line:

      set theHD to (path to startup disk as string)




...will play out in X.

One thing you can try is to run part of the script:



set theHD to (path to startup disk as string) 
set theFolder to theHD & "Photos" 
tell application "Finder" 
	set fileList to name of every file of folder theFolder 
end tell 
fileList



... in Script Editor. The last line tells the editor to display the results in the "Retults" window. The list that shows up will tell you if you are pointed in the right direction.

The error you got sounds like you are still loosing returns or something. I'll try to e-mail you the script as I have it. Good luck!
