In an effort to get around using iTunes to play a simple sound I tried this simple script. When run from Smile I get a message "Can't get console of script window id 7.".
Don't work in a script window, Robert. Use the text windows, they are better.
About that, please consider spending a few minutes reading:

I can two reasons why this script may not work as you expect.
1. "path to documents folder" is not something that "path to" allows. On Jaguar, I have to write:
path to "docs". I've found that in User scripts > More Smile commands > Scripting > All path to.
2. I may be wrong, but I can't see a "play sound" command in any dictionary. You can play a sound in Smile: open the file as a QuickTime movie, then launch it. That's what "playsound" does, an addition available at:

So, I would try (in a text window):
----------------
set mantelSound to (path to "docs" as string) & "clutter:Sounds:mantel" as alias
set w to make new movie window with properties {path name:f, visible:false}
play w
delete w
----------------
