Are you really sure that it isn't working properly?
This does work on my box...
<Caution Line Wraps ahead!>
tell application "Adobe. Photoshop. 6.0.1"
adjust the current document changing curves to {adjustment:{curves
adjustment {channel:cyan channel, curve:{{0, 0}, {50, 55}, {255, 255}}}}}
end tell
But the adjustment is barely noticeable.

I would think you would use something close to this for a 10%
increase...
tell application "Adobe. Photoshop. 6.0.1"
adjust the current document changing curves to {adjustment:{curves
adjustment {channel:cyan channel, curve:{{0, 0}, {128, 141}, {255, 255}}}}}
end tell
I think that what is happening is that you are using the percentage
readout from PS as your guide. In fact you need to use the scale of 0 to 255
as indicated by the leading and ending values in the list of values for the
curve.
