You aren't telling Mail which message you want to take the data from.

Here's a script, tested under Panther, which takes the info you were after
from one or more *selected* emails and puts it into one or more new records
in a FMPro database called "testDB". Should be enough to get you started.
Watch the line-breaks:

---begin script
tell application "Mail"
set messageList to the selection
if (count of messageList) = 0 then
display dialog "You must select one or more messages first"
return 0
else if (count of messageList) = 1 then
set messageList to messageList as list
end if
set dataList to {}
repeat with eachMessage in messageList
set end of dataList to {recipName:name of recipient 1 <line-break>
of eachMessage, recipAdd:address of recipient 1 of <line-break>
eachMessage, sendAdd:sender of eachMessage, <line-break>
subj:subject of eachMessage}
end repeat
end tell

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
repeat with eachItem in dataList
create new record with data {recipName of eachItem, <line-break>
recipAdd of eachItem, subj of eachItem} at database "testDB"
end repeat
end tell
---end script

HTH,

Nigel
