Jim,
Sorry, a slight mistake, you need to replace the right square bracket in the goToPreviousTab() handler with the left square bracket.
Notes:
1) The System Events scripting could also be done with Keyboard Maestro macro commands (keyboard shortcuts or menu selection) as well.
2) The value for currentTab could also be saved to a file in Script #1 and retrieved in Script #2.

should be the left square bracket, not the right one...
keystroke"[" using {command down, option down}
