If you look at store script it requires a script object as its direct object.
A text script is NOT a script object.
Ah, I didn't even notice that -- good point.
But it's not going to make much difference, I don't think, because store script and ASObjC don't get along. Try adding use framework "Foundation" to the script you posted elsewhere, to see what I mean.
I suspect there is a method using ASObjC (but that'll have to wait for Shane).
In this case Dave is writing a hybrid Objective-C/AS app, so he might as well just do it in Objective-C or C. But it can be done like this:
use framework "Foundation"
use framework "OSAKit"
set sourceURL to current application's class "NSURL"'s fileURLWithPath:"path/to/file.applescript"
set destURL to current application's class "NSURL"'s fileURLWithPath:"path/to/file.scpt"
set theScript to current application's OSAScript's alloc()'s initWithContentsOfURL:sourceURL
set theResult to theScript's compileAndReturnError:(missing value)
if theResult as boolean then
theScript's writeToURL:destURL ofType:(current application's OSAStorageScriptType) |error|:(missing value)
end if
