Of course. It's an Apple signature app.
You wouldn't expect it to be scriptable, would you? None of their other
signature apps are scriptable worth a damn, so why should GarageBand be?

Assuming 10.3, you can try reverting to the the UI scripting hack:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "GarageBand"
keystroke "r"
end tell
end tell
A real AppleScript dictionary would make this much easier, though.
