OS X 10.9 Changes to Applescript: Using the `move` Command in the System Events Context to Move a File

Question

I went to run the old script and it broke after update 10.9. I used to move files with system events with the following code.

set Somefilepath to "Design_005_HD:Users:Design_005:Desktop:Start:TextFile.txt"
set somefolderpath to "Design_005_HD:Users:Design_005:Desktop:End:"

tell application "System Events"
move file (Somefilepath) to folder (somefolderpath)
end tell

Now this gives me the following error.

error "System events received an error: Cant make file \" Design_005_HD: Users: Design_005: Desktop: Start: TextFile.txt \ "in type integer." number -1700 from the file "Design_005_HD: Users: Design_005: Desktop: Start: TextFile.txt" to an integer

I know that I can change it and use finder, but I rather do not use it. What has changed that doesn't work anymore?

set somefilepath to "Design_005_HD:Users:Design_005:Desktop:Start:TextFile.txt"
set somefolderpath to "Design_005_HD:Users:Design_005:Desktop:End:"

POSIX- ( /) -

set somefilepath to "/Users/Design_005/Desktop/Start/TextFile.txt"
set somefolderpath to "/Users/Design_005/Desktop/End"

# Note that we use `as POSIX file` even in the case of the *folder*
# - this works, however.
tell application "Finder"
    move somefilepath as POSIX file to somefolderpath as POSIX file
end tell
