Proper form for Go To Folder

Question

I'm trying to take advantage of the ability to insert a full path to go to particular location in an open/save dialog. I have my script executing a shift-command-G, and then pasting in a POSIX path, i.e.: Macintosh HD/Users/jeffrey ..etc.
But no matter what path I enter, it says Folder not found. This is for Documents, Desktop, and even Users, and Macintosh HD itself.
I have even tried putting " ' " around the string to account for Macintosh HD: 'Macintosh HD'.
That hasn't worked either.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Pierre--
I actually found what I was doing wrong. menu 1 refers to the first menu (hierarchical) of the Insert menu
Here's the script as I now have it. I tried it first as:
set the destination_file to "/Users/jeffrey/Downloads/jotts/mp3s/49de-b3a1-e4b3b6f7c2e0.mp3"
activate application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
delay 0.2
tell application "System Events"
tell process "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
click menu item "QuickTime…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Insert" of menu bar 1
delay 0.2
tell window 1
open destination_file
end tell
end tell
end tell
But it seems no matter how I do a straight Open command, it just opens the file in itunes.
So then I tried it the brute force way:
set the destination_file to "/Users/jeffrey/Downloads/jotts/mp3s/49de-b3a1-e4b3b6f7c2e0.mp3"
activate application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
delay 0.2
tell application "System Events"
tell process "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
click menu item "QuickTime…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Insert" of menu bar 1
delay 0.2
tell window 1
keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down}
repeat until exists sheet 1
delay 0.2
end repeat
end tell
tell sheet 1
set value of text field 1 to destination_file
click button "Go"
end tell
end tell
end tell
This works as far as opening the right open/save dialog (Insert-->QuickTime...), and it also then opens the Go To folder sheet. But now I'm getting this error sheet (which is in fact a sheet, as it is a standard OS open/save dialog.
error "System Events got an error: Can’t get sheet 1 of process \"FileMaker Pro Advanced\". Invalid index." number -1719 from sheet 1 of process "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
So again, I'm confused.
