I tried to get this working at home, and had no end of problems.
Eventually I tracked it down to a bug in how the authentication
dialog interacts with non-US keyboard layouts (I use Dvorak, but I
suspect that this applies to you as well because you're probably
using AZERTY).
Basically, the password dialog that's brought up by Script Editor
when you run the script uses the "root" account's keyboard layout,
rather than the keyboard layout for the user who is running the
program. So, in my case, I was typing my password in Dvorak, it was
being interpreted as QWERTY, and so I could never authenticate with
the server.
I didn't notice this originally because the user name, "Quinn", was
already filled in, and the password displays as bullets.
Eventually I went to retype my user name (just to make sure) and
noticed that it was coming out mangled. So I retyped the user name
and password in QWERTY, and all was well.
Try this out and see if it fixed the problem.
It seems that this bug is already fixed in Panther.
