It could be a G5 or a G6 - that makes no difference. One of them probably
has Jon's Commands or Akua Sweets scripting addition and the other doesn't.
Both those osaxen have silent coercions that automatically coerce string
file paths to file or alias, and Akua at least probably converts Finder
file types into AppleScript file types. So when your 'open for access'
command omitted the 'file' word, the osax did the conversion for you,
whereas on the other computer there was nothing to do the conversion.
