Try objc-appscript (http://appscript.sourceforge.net); works on 10.4 and later, and closely mimics the way that AppleScript builds Apple events so is far less prone to application compatibility problems than SB. Implementation is reasonably solid (I need to deal with various compiler warnings when building for 64-bit on 10.6, but 32-bit is fine), and it's based on a very mature, proven design. You also get better documentation and dev tools (ASDictionary and ASTranslate). If you already know how to write a working command in AppleScript, you will find ASTranslate especially helpful in converting it to its ObjC equivalent.
