If it's not golden then it's certainly silver!

A machine restart cures a world of hurt and in your case I'd say the
problem was not with the script nor Entourage but with the AppleScript
system built into Mac OS X. Restarts are simple and safe to do and they
clean out a lot of cruft that builds up over time with use.

Are restarts warranted for every problem? Certainly not. But they are
important for troubleshooting a problem because you know that after a
restart everything is "reset". Your memory is clear, some of your caches
are cleared, temp items left over from other installers or applications
are gone, your Mac OS system is reloaded fresh, etc. Putting your machine
in this "known good state" is really the most important reason for a
restart.

Can you tell I do tech support for a living? :-)
