You usually get that error when you call a handler from within a tell block
or from within another handler and forget to include 'my'. You need to call:

my find_contact(first_name, last_name)

Similarly within that handler I see you call another one

create_contact(first_name, last_name)

You need to call

my create_contact(first_name, last_name)

or you'll get the same error there.

(BTW, I have already written a synchronisation applescript for address book
to entourage. It took me several months and I've been fixing bugs and
improving it still, It's called - would you guess - "Sync Entourage-Address
Book" and you can get it at

AppleScript Central <http://www.applescriptcentral.com/>

Because it's shareware it's Run Only, I'm afraid. But just to let you know
what you have in store if you want to do it right, the set of interlinked
scripts there total about 250K worth of source code.)
