Thank you Christopher,

Writing an AppleScript list to a file writes a binary representation of the list, such that you could read it back and get the exact same list value. What you want to write is really a textual representation of the list, so you should create that text (such as by using text item delimiters with "as text", as shown before) and then write that to the file.
