The 'theScript' is a valid script that executes flawlessly in 'Script Editor':
tell application "Finder"

It sounds like you've solved your problem, but I'd just note that if you're only getting Finder comments, MDItem is faster and simpler:


- (NSString *)commentForURL:(NSURL *)fileURL;
{
    NSParameterAssert([fileURL isFileURL]);

    MDItemRef mdItem = NULL;
    CFStringRef path = (CFStringRef)[fileURL path];
    NSString *theComment = nil;

if (path && (mdItem = MDItemCreate(CFGetAllocator(path), path))) {
theComment = (NSString *)MDItemCopyAttribute(mdItem, kMDItemFinderComment);
CFRelease(mdItem);
[theComment autorelease];
}
return theComment;
}
