I couldn't follow your code completely, but instead of "item 1" try "text item 1"; the two are not synonymous.

set foo to "one:two:three:four:five"
set text item delimiters to {":"}
set bar to item 3 of foo
set text item delimiters to {""}
bar
--> "e"

set foo to "one:two:three:four:five"
set text item delimiters to {":"}
set bar to text item 3 of foo
set text item delimiters to {""}
bar
--> "three"

set foo to "one:two:three:four:five"
set text item delimiters to {":"}
set bar to item 3 of text item 3 of foo
set text item delimiters to {""}
bar
--> "r"
