Your convertMonthToInteger function works fine but here's an alternative that does the same job and does it with less clutter in your script:

Jaguar can now do the direct coercion:

on dateToInt(theDate)
tell theDate
set m to it's month as integer
if m < 10 then set m to "0" & m
end tell
end dateToInt

set d to date "Thursday, May 04, 1961 11:40:00"

dateToInt(d)

--> 05

That's basically what I said in the second part of my comment...

:-)

Here it is again:

^^^^^^^^^^^^
if you are using AppleScript 1.9 or later you can just do:

-------------
on convertMonthToInteger(theMonth)
if ((theMonth as integer) < 10) then
return "0" & (theMonth as integer)
else
return "" & (theMonth as integer)
end if
end convertMonthToInteger
-------------

This is because AppleScript 1.9 allows coercion from the month constants to integers.
