Operating System Errors
An operating system error is an error that occurs when AppleScript or
an application requests services from the Mac OS. They are rare, and
more important, there's usually nothing you can do about them in a
script. A few, such as "File <name> wasn't found" and "Application
isn't running" , make sense for scripts to handle.

Now this is interesting for those of us plagued by this error. (-600)
It's more interesting to note that this error is apparently related to
scripting remote machines . . . or perhaps (my thought) occurs when
porting scripts from one machine to another?
Does it relate to "alias"? or the activate command?

Activate
referenceToApplication -- (#.. page 21)
To specify an application on a remote computer, you must use a string
that
consists of the name of the application as it would be listed in the
Application
menu ( "ApplicationName"), and you must also specify the name of the
computer and if necessary the zone in which the computer is located.
The application must be running. The Activate command does not launch
applications on remote machines
</snip>
where this error code is mentioned as a possible failure.
Does this mean that when moving a script from one machine or network to
another - that the term alias might cause the script to fail?
I'm tossing coins into the dark here so please bear with me.
Cheers
Duncan
