osx - Applescript Folder Action not working -

i wrote applescript monitor folder new input. on receiving new item, open itunes, create playlist , add together new files playlist. however, when attach script folder action via folder action setup , add together new item, nil happens. have placed script within /library/scripts/folder action scripts ~/library/scripts/folder action scripts still doesn't fire. here code below:

global album_name global artist_album on adding folder items this_folder after receiving added_items --get name of added folder repeat x in added_items re-create name of x string playlist_name set applescript's text item delimeters "-" set delimited_playlist_name every text item of playlist_name set artist_name text item 1 of delimited_playlist_name set album_name text item 2 of delimited_playlist_name set applescript's text item delimeters "" end repeat tell "finder" activate "itunes" tell application "itunes" if not (exists playlist album_name) --make itunes playlist create playlist properties {name:album_name} --add tracks itunes playlist repeat song in playlist_name add together song playlist album_name set album of song album_name set artist of song artist_name set comment of song "" set composer of song "" set grouping of song "" set description of song "" set long description of song "" set (volume adjustment) of song 100 end repeat set view of browser window album_name end if end tell end adding folder items

i'm running mac os 10.8.4

in future

test code in applescript editor, helps a lot :) if dont utilize applescript editor, useful messages, utilize display dialog entries throughout code see how far goes , going on.

so, assuming problem code, rewrote simple applescript , got work on snow leopard (10.6.8) system.

it runs ok within automator folder action code in run applescript action item. 1 time saved within automator did activate when new files added folder , run ok.

ps: since didn't provide details, had guesstimate code trying do. far optimal going...
