You AppleScript tried to attach to the UI server but it isn't permitted to
do so, presumably because the account in question was not logged in at the
time.
There are some very specific issues about attaching to WindowServer, and
AppleScripts seem to try to attach even when there's no apparent reason to
do so (e.g. no user interaction required).
Your solution is to either ensure you're logged in at the time the script
runs, or add the script to the root crontab (root can attach to the
WindowServer even when it isn't logged in).
