I have now reduced my task to script a simple Excel command. But nothing
seems to be working.

I tried the script:

Tell application "Microsoft Excel"
Create New Workbook
End tell

I run it and it opens Excel and then gives me the error:
"Microsoft Excel got an error: Can't continue Create."

I works for me. In "real" Applescript one would say

make workbook

with optional 'new'. In Excel 'New' seems to be required, though the dictionary says it is optional. However that doesn't explain why it's not working for you.
