That's because it's just a string. Just a slip on your part.
Did you try
tell application "Finder" to open docFile using application "Help Viewer"
I don't have a suitable file to test on but when I try running
application "Help Viewer"
I get
--> Macintosh HD:System:Library:CoreServices:Help Viewer.app
which looks encouraging. If it *can* open the file in the UI, this should
also work via AppleScript.
