The ASLG 'translation' is "Can't get <reference>". Most likely reason for
a script to suddenly start displaying this error is that an item referred
to in the script has been moved, deleted, or renamed. I generally see
this error unhelpfully displayed in one of those little yellow system
notification dialogs when a folder action goes awry.

Wrapping the script in a try block will at least let you find out which
reference the script can't get.

try
--<script goes here>
on error errmsg
display dialog errmsg
end try

Note - if the script is a folder action
--
"Always remember to warm the pot."
