Oh, just forget it, Robert. Since no one else has put you out of your misery
yet, here goes:
It's a stupid, generic Cocoa scripting error that crops up in all scriptable
Cocoa apps and basically means nothing. Nobody knows what it means. Just
forget you ever saw it. It, and a few other Cocoa errors like it, might
possibly have meant something to the engineers who implemented Cocoa
scripting when they were testing it out. It means absolutely nothing of any
use to scripters. You, like the rest of us, have to wait for some later
release of OS X when they improve Cocoa scripting to return meaningful
errors.
In the meantime, don't try to understand it, because there's nothing to
understand. To top it off, sometimes it's not even consistent, and can show
up sporadically when running scripts on iCal, Address Book, or other Cocoa
apps. You can run the script again, and it will go away. At other times,
it's a real, genuine consistent error, tat you're just going to have to
figure out by testing in the dark.
