That's because you're not specifying a bundle name. You're specifying
an application name. When the script is compiled, that app name is
converted into the Finder's FourCC and encoded in an Apple Event
struct.
If you are dealing with Apple Events, apps are known by their FourCC.
If you are dealing with file paths, apps are known by their
fully-qualified path (/Applications/TextEdit.app). If you're dealing
with bundles, they're known by their bundle name (com.apple.TextEdit).
There are a lot of different namespaces involved.
