A run only script cannot be decompiled, so I'm not sure how they're seeing this. It doesn't generally need to know the Finder's terms in order to run, and that would manifest as a run-time error.

Presumably this is the error. I have to presume that the path is correct, but there is no error number displayed, which would tell us why the Finder can't provide the property requested. Given that the terminology isn't present, I would guess that the Finder is, once again, busy and not responding in time, to either the property get or the get terminology events.
My first guess is that the user is running something else which is hogging the Finder. What context are they running your script within? Just as a standalone app from the desktop? Via the script menu?
I wonder if the Finder is busy telling the script to run or something stupid like that?
