This would be easier (in SHELL syntax): env PATH=<some value> <some  
application or script that needs it>

or

	do shell script ("env PATH=" & sPath & " " & posixPath & "/ 
epspdftk.rb")


The problem obviously is that your application has a much too short  
default PATH value, which is then passed into (or inherited by) the  
environment of every process it launches. Do you think the following  
lines would give different results:

	osascript -e 'do shell script "bash -c   env | grep -w PATH"'
	osascript -e 'do shell script "bash -lc  env | grep -w PATH"'
	osascript -e 'do shell script "tcsh -c   env | grep -w PATH"'
	osascript -e 'do shell script "tcsh -ic  env | grep -w PATH"'
	osascript -e 'do shell script "$SHELL -c env | grep -w PATH"'

I've created "test" accounts that use bash or csh as login shells. I  
think I could need two others with zsh or ksh ... and a hardcore one  
with sh! Plus another set of accounts without ~/.MacOSX/ 
environment.plist.
