There are two problems with your script.

First, properties are colon-delimited pairs, not prop = value pairs, so the
definition of your properies is wrong.

Secondly, iCal demands you specify where you want to create the event - and
not just in a particular calendar.

The following appears to work for me:

tell application "iCal"
set theItem to (make new event at end of calendar 1 with properties {start
date : date "Friday, 6 February 2004 7:35:00 AM", summary : "TheTitle"})
end tell

(watch the line breaks )
