Shouldn't that be:
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.dock mineffect " & effect &
";killall Dock"
The ";" allows you to put 2 commands on the online. The second command oinly
executes if the first one succeeds.
Of course the newline character for unix is a linefeed not a return, but I
am not sure if "do shell script" can handle multiple lines.
