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...
