The problem is that script applications open themselves read-write so that they can update their properties when they quit. You need to prevent this, which can be done simply by setting the "Locked" flag on the application. This prevents AppleScript from opening it read-write, so it opens it read-only, doesn't update any properties and can be run by multiple users at once.

However, as I said several times, it will NOT save any data, so this may or may not work for your particular script.
