Doctor,

Your scripts -- the one above and the full version that I snipped -- work
fine on my machine OS 9 QXP v4.11 & 5.0 running from Script Editor.

Does your problem persist after a reboot? Rebuild Desktop?

Are you running in classic mode under OS X? If so, let me know via the list
and I will try to replicate your problem.
