Image Events problem

Hi there,

A customer of mine gets an error when running an Applescript that converts a JPEG into a PICT file. Here's a code snippet that illustrates the problem:

try
	set _jpeg_file to (path to desktop as string) & "test.jpg"
	set _pict_file to (path to desktop as string) & "test.pict"

	tell application "Image Events"
		launch
		set image_data to open file _jpeg_file
		tell application "Finder" to set new_item to _pict_file
		save image_data in new_item as PICT
		close image_data
	end tell
on error e
	return {e, number of e}
end try


When he runs the code (assume ~/Desktop/test.jpg exists), he gets the following output:


{"NSInternalScriptError", 21}

He's running OS X 10.3.9 and (therefore?) has Image Events 1.0.

Any ideas? This bit of code runs inside a Cocoa app I produce, and no other customer has reported this problem so far - I have a few hundred users. I know that at least some of them are also on 10.3.9.

All the best,

Simon
