Getting event error scripting voltaichd

Question

getting this error:
Voltaic got an error: "/Users/my-user-acct/Desktop/AVCHD/Samples/Fence" doesn't understand the «event VltcAddF» message.
from this script:
-- Sample Applescript for VoltaicHD
tell application "Voltaic"
-- Add a file or folder. Will process mts or m2t files only
«event VltcAddF» "/Users/my-user-acct/Desktop/AVCHD/Samples/Fence"
-- Get/Set the Output Location
--get the «class otln»
--set the «class otln» to "/Users/my-user-acct/Desktop/AVCHD"
-- Get/Set the Scratch Location
--get the «class scln»
--set the «class scln» to "/Users/my-user-acct/Desktop/AVCHD"
-- Get/Set the Sound Notification for when conversion is complete
--get the «class sdal»
--set the «class sdal» to true
-- Get/Set the Popup Notification for when conversion is complete
--get the «class ppal»
--set the «class ppal» to true
-- Get the conversion started !!
«event VltcCnvt»
end tell
the script is a sample script from shedworx, who make voltaichd (for transcoding video files).
i've commented out most of the parts of the script as they produce errors like this:
Can't set «class otln» to "/Users/my-user-acct/Desktop/AVCHD". Access not allowed.
can someone explain what's going on here and how to get around it?
i've tried all kinds of combinations of pathing, using colons or slashes. the examples i see here usually use colons, whereas the sample script uses slashes. i tried it both ways because of that. same result.

Answer 1

i'm obviously new to all this so please bear with me. what's a scripting dictionary and how would i find it? i didn't see anything on their site. just the sample script. is the scripting dictionary something usually found in a common place?
thanks,
