To be able to use the "as list" syntax, you need to save the
information to the file from AppleScript:

write {"a", "b", {"c", "d", "e"}} to myFile as list

However, there are well know bugs involved with the read/write commands'
ability to parse complicated lists structures, (lists in lists).

...most of which are fixed in AppleScript 1.6. Nested lists, in particular, are fixed.
