Hi there
To complete Cristiaan Hofman's answer. Write
tell application "Xcode"
activate -- or not, you can activate after the creation also.
tell root group of active project document
make new group with properties {name:"newname", path type:project relative}
end tell
end tell
This script send a message to the object itself, your target. When you write "set myroot to whatever" AS make a reference to the target it doesn't duplicate it (why would he?). The object (here : root group of active project document) is unique. So finally you sent your message just to a pointer and not to the object you want to talk with. And the pointer doesn't understand your message, which is quite logic.
Hope this helps.
-p
P.S. By the way nobody answered me about where are located the shell user scripts of the User Scripts menu ? Nobody knows ?
