Just a thought, Matthew...

You're not running an internationalized (e.g. Non-US) system are you?

Because, of course, "click menu item "Copy" of menu "Edit"..." doesn't work
when running a non-English system.

Which begs in favor of using positional references... "click menu item 5 of
menu 2 blah, blah, blah..." which is so unreadable that you have no idea
what the script is supposed to be doing.
