You realize the issue, don't you?

Keys which are in the aeut or an aete are stored as the 4 character constant, while undefined terms are stored as strings in the usrf record. Your technique was to parse the usrf record, which doesn't contain things like name, file, parent and other AppleScript terms.

I think Paul's idea is more sensible, but I'm not holding my breath. ;)
