I m trying to open a folder in Finder using AppleScript. The following is my code. I want the folder WorkSpace to open in Finder, but it opens the Parent Folder /Volumes/MyMacDrive/Mani and highlights the WorkSpace folder. I want the contents of WorkSpace folder, but all I'm getting is its Parent Folder's Contents. What am i missing here ..?

property the_path : "/Volumes/MyMacDrive/Mani/WorkSpace/"
set the_folder to (POSIX file the_path) as alias
tell application "Finder"
    activate
    if window 1 exists then
        set target of window 1 to the_folder
    else
        reveal the_folder
    end if
end tell
applescript directory finder
