I don't know offhand what's going on, but several questions for you:
- What is the exact error message you were getting that mentioned "permitted front ASNs", and where was it appearing?
- How do you know this was connected with Gatekeeper?
- Do any other folder actions work on your system?
- What format is your folder action script? (scpt, scptd, applet...)
- What is the output of...
"xattr -p com.apple.quarantine path-to-your-script"?
"spctl -a path-to-your-script"?
