In short, I'm not nuts, nor am I inexperienced. :) It looks like the Folder Actions server is not sending Apple Events as I first thought, but is actually loading and calling one of the script's handlers, which will obviously not work for a compiled application.

Folder actions were designed for Applescripts, not for anything else.

Since this is an application that you are writing yourself, why not write it so the user can drop the files or folders directly on the application itself (or an alias to the application)?
