Snow leopard tab command and Dock not working with spaces

Question

When I have spaces enabled, it wont switch to the desktop with the app running when I try to use dock, tab command. I tried repair permissions in Disk Utility. Tried rebooting. Tried autologin. It won't do anything when I click on the icon in the Dock, if its not in the present window. Of course if I turn off spaces, then its fine. I tried turning spaces on and off.
What is the fix?

Answer 1

you need to escape the backslash which is a special character in apple script. that means putting an extra backslash in there.
