Works fine here.

Maybe you try :
set srcPathUnix to quoted form of (POSIX path of srcPath)
set dstPathUnix to quoted form of (POSIX path of savePath)

do shell script "hdiutil create -srcfolder " & srcPathUnix & space &  
dstPathUnix & " -format UDZO -ov" user name thisUser password userPW  
with administrator privileges
