I have heard that there is some sort of problem with both VBA and
AppleScript when the user partition is not on the startup disk, with Office
X. All the Office preferences live in ~/Library/Microsoft/. It looks like
you're hitting that problem. I don't think that even symlinks help. You'll
need to install a copy of Excel locally, I think.
