I would use a try block around the offending code and check the error parameters. Here's the description from our old completely functional AppleScript help stack:
try
[statements... ]
on error [text ] ,
[number integer ] ,
[from object ] ,
[partial result list ] ,
[to className ]
[global | local variableName ,
[, variableName ]...]
[statements... ]
end [error|try]
I'd check the message text and the number parameter, although I'm pretty sure that will be -2763 if you didn't copy the number down wrong. ;)
I don't know what the "to className" parameter is all about and I'm too busy to go look it up. I'm sure someone else will.

files of folder "Your:Path:Here" whose creator type = "InDd"
Er...
