Would something like this work better? It should deal with 
localization or if the user renames iTunes for some reason.

iTunesIsOpen = NO;
NSWorkspace* workspace = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
NSString* iTunesPath = [workspace 
absolutePathForAppBundleWithIdentifier:@"com.apple.iTunes"];
NSArray* lApplications = [workspace launchedApplications];
int lAppsCount = [lApplications count];
int a;
for (a = 0; a < lAppsCount; a++)
{
    NSDictionary* applicationD = [lApplications objectAtIndex:a];
    if ([[applicationD objectForKey:@"NSApplicationPath"] 
isEqualToString:iTunesPath])
    {
      iTunesIsOpen = YES;
      break;
    }
}

[iTunesLMenu setTitle: NSLocalizedString(iTunesIsOpen ? @"Quit 
iTunes" : @"Launch iTunes",@"")];
