This works...almost. What happens is I get a window that opens
with a blank tab (my home page is blank) and then fills all the
following tabs with items 2 through x on my list.
Any idea why the first URL is not populating the address bar?
No idea, the script should ignore any previously opened windows.

PS - I changed the start marker in the in the repeat line from
"2 to count uList" to "1 to count uList", with no change,
except an extra empty tab.
I wrote it using Safari 3.04 in Mac OS X 10.5.1, it works fine
here. Is your setup different?
set win to (make new document at beginning)
set URL of win to contents of item 1 of uList
This part of the script should open a new window even if there
are already open windows. The first url of the list is used to
address the newly opened page. Note that there are no existing
tabs at this point. If the first url doesn't address this new
page then this is where it's going wrong.
tell window 1
repeat with x from 2 to count uList
set curTab to (make new tab at end)
set URL of curTab to contents of item x of uList
end repeat
end tell
This part makes the tabs. Keep in mind that the first iteration
assumes there are no existing tabs and actually generates 2 of
them. The first tab contains the original page (item 1 of the
list) and the second one being item 2 of the list. Subsequent
iterations create one tab for each list item. This is why the
loop starts with 2.
If you made changes to the script code you may have changed the
flow in ways I didn't anticipate. It's a good idea to post the
changed script in your replies so I/we can see what's going on.
