After I run your script (which works) I tried running the original script

set l to "/Users/deivy/Desktop/reaching.txt"
tell application "System Events" to open  l

and it worked.

I checked to see if the try  caused an error it did not.
I quit ASE and relaunched it, tried the script and it worked again!

I do have the picture of the dialog stating that SE probably found the file but could not open.
Same computer...
