Sorry, I presumed you were using the correct field name. The note field is actually called "description". Change that, it'll work.
Check the Entourage dictionary; open dictionary in Script Editor and select Microsoft Entourage; you'll see all the contact fields listed under "contact" in the last section of the dictionary.
