Scripting Bridge behaves rather differently to AppleScript (which is 
what scriptable applications are traditionally developed and tested 
against) and is somewhat prone to application compatibility problems 
as a result. Try objc-appscript instead - it's deliberately designed 
to mimic AppleScript's behaviour as closely as possible (quirks and 
all), making it much more reliable. It also has a cleaner API, 
supports Panther onwards, and is MIT-licensed so you can freely 
include it in your application bundles for distribution. See my sig. 
for more info and links.
