I can't get the correct syntax for this filter

The following script should get, from my iTunes Music Library.xml, every property list item of the current selection.

tell application "iTunes"
   set sel to get selection of front browser window
   set dbis to {}
   repeat with tr in sel
       copy (database ID of tr) as string to the end of dbis
   end repeat
end tell

set itf to "/Users/skeeve/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml"
set res to {}
tell application "System Events"
set plif to property list file itf
tell plif
tell property list item "Tracks"
-- this test works
set res to every property list item whose name is some item of dbis
-- this one not
-- set res to every property list item whose name is in dbis
end tell
end tell
end tell
res


The apple event executed is
get every property list item
   of property list item "Tracks"
   of property list file "...:iTunes Music Library.xml"
   whose {"89104", "89110", "89098", "89265", "89328"} contains name

and not the expected

get every property list item
   of property list item "Tracks"
   of property list file "...:iTunes Music Library.xml"
   whose name is in {"89104", "89110", "89098", "89265", "89328"}

Can I do something about it?
