For the sake of understanding what's up let me throw a simple example, run these two blocks:
repeat with theItem in {1, 2, 3}
if theItem is 3 then display dialog "3" -- never true
end repeat
repeat with theItem in {1, 2, 3}
set theItem to contents of theItem
if theItem is 3 then display dialog "3" -- works
end repeat
Best,
Emmanuel
