If the trace is really no more than a single println(), then it looks like
part of the problem is that exec(String) is being used. This is almost
always wrong, since exec(String) will not parse quotes (see its API docs).
If it's really using exec(String), you need to fix it to use
exec(String[]), and structure the command-array accordingly. If it's reall
using exec(String[]), I suggest modifying the trace to print each String as
an identifiably distinct item.
If the trace you posted was pasted in from an actual trace output, then
part of the problem is a typo:
you misspelled 'location' as 'loacation'.
There's no way that's going to work as given, and you'll have an osascript
error on stderr that complains. Assuming that it hasn't deadlocked because
of the stderr-pipe filling up.
Also, since I consistently see "file://" in the browsers themselves, I
suggest using that form rather than "file:" alone.

It may well be just a question of the right entires in a config file.
What's the simple call's API, the parameter's value, and the config-file's
contents right now?
