That is exactly where my script has been stored in 10.6.8, but it is still ignored by Mail in 10.9.x.
It doesn’t matter what’s in the script - a simple Beep() is also ignored - it just doesn’t run and doesn’t bother to tell me why.
Mail also fails to execute a MOVE TO MAILBOX rule action, except on incoming messages. But then, you cannot even drag messages with the mouse to move them, except out of the INBOX or SENT box.
Mail is just broken.
