I would like to modify an existing plist file by changing some existing plist items and adding some new ones.

Modifying existing plist items works fine using syntax like:
osascript -e"tell application \"System Events\" to set value of property list item \"CFBundleSignature\" of contents of property list file \"blah.plist\" to \"Something\""'


but this syntax fails if I try to add a new element to the plist. (I get this error):
36:168: execution error: System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1)


How can I create a new plist item to an existing plist?

You might use XMLLib.osax, by Satimage-software. It's free and it's sometimes said more powerful than System Events' plist Suite.
