Mark is right. Plus, if you simply put your line inside a finder tell block
it would also work.

tell application "Finder"
    set myList to {document file "12266_Aviator.psG01.TIF" of folder
"12266_Aviator" of folder "Hold for V30" of disk "prepress" of application
"Finder", document file "12266_Aviator.psG00.TIF" of folder "12266_Aviator"
of folder "Hold for V30" of disk "prepress" of application "Finder"}
end tell
