tell application "EyeTV"
with timeout of 3 seconds
set eyeTVrec to recordings whose location contains my eyeBundle
...

fails:
EyeTV got an error: Can't get every recording whose location contains eyeBundle of «script».

but if i un the same code in a test script (not my humungous .app)

Code: Select all
set eyeBundle to "Exploring Space_ The Quest for Life - 3_7_07 8_05 PM.eyetv"
tell application "EyeTV"
with timeout of 3 seconds
set eyeTVrec to recordings whose location contains my eyeBundle

there's no problem:

tell application "EyeTV"
get every recording whose location contains "Exploring Space_ The Quest for Life - 3_7_07 8_05 PM.eyetv"
{recording id 1.95008719E+8}
get location of recording id 1.95008719E+8

end tell

wtf???
