AFAIK, specialFolderPath() can only take one of a specified list of arguments,
and ".my Muck" is not one of them. Does it not work to do this:
put specialFolderPath("Home") into hFolder
put hFolder & ".myMuck/" into muckFolder
set the defaultFolder to muckFolder
export snapshot from group "PAIR" to file "PAIR.png" as PNG
