Many entries in my Address Book file have one or more custom date fields labeled "NC Mod Date". I want to go through the whole file and delete all these fields. The following doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

tell application "Address Book"

set no_persons to (count every person)

repeat with p_no from 1 to no_persons

try

tell person p_no
delete (every custom date whose label is "NC Mod Date")
end tell

end try

end repeat

end tell

I'm not sure that you're doing anything wrong -- that's exactly the syntax that ought to work, and it does work with other contact info types, such as phones, emails, and addresses. This looks like a bug in Address Book to me.
