It works here:

set theApp to "/Applications/TextEdit.app"

set cmd to "mdls -name kMDItemLastUsedDate " & theApp

do shell script cmd

tell current application

do shell script "mdls -name kMDItemLastUsedDate /Applications/TextEdit.app"

--> "kMDItemLastUsedDate = 2011-02-09 22:09:20 +0000"

end tell

Result:

"kMDItemLastUsedDate = 2011-02-09 22:09:20 +0000"

What do you get?

Steve
