photoshop cs3 path confusion

Can I change the operation of a photoshop path by applescript?

I have a picture in photoshop, plain jpg with a path.
The path is defined as shape subtract, I want to change it to xor:

I try the following. It seems to work and I get no error messages, but the paths are not changed.

-->
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
tell document 1
set x to (count path items)
if x > 0 then
repeat with y from 1 to x
set pathitems to (every item of entire path of path item y)
repeat with enPathItem in pathitems
get operation of enPathItem
--> shape subtract.
set operation of enPathItem to shape xor
--> shape xor.
get operation of enPathItem
--> shape xor. this seems OK, but the operation of the path is NOT changed.
end repeat
end repeat
end if
end tell
end tell
-->


If I run it again, Photoshop will report all paths to still be shape subtract.

I am also somewhat confused by the Photoshop dictionary:
'operation' as a property of 'sub path item' class is read only.
'operation' as a property of 'sub path info' class is read write.

Another cup of coffee did not help either. Can someone enlighten me here?
