Safari Shortcuts not functioning as promised....

Question

Hello everyone,
I was intrigued by something that I read in Adam Goldstein's book "Applescript: The Missing Manual" (P. 182):
"SAVED SCRIPTS IN THE FAVORITES BAR: If you've saved a script as an Application (pg. 33), you can run it from Safari's Favorites bar with ease. Here's how:
1. Find the path to the application.
If you saved a script called Hyena as an application in your Library-->Scripts folder, for example, the path would be /Library/Scripts/Hyena.app.
2. Type the path to the file into Safari's address bar.
To set Safari to open a file for you, use file:/// (yes, that's three foward slashes, not the two you normally see after http:), followed by the path to where the file loves on your Mac. For example, the file path for the Hyena.app script woul look like his:
file:///Library/Scripts/Hyena.app
At this point, you could press Return to open the file (and, as a result, run the script). Or you could wait a few steps, to make the script a permanent fixture of Safari's Booksmarks bar.
3. Drag the mini-icon from Safri's Address bar into the Bookmarks bar (Figure 9-5 top).
This is a quick way to create a new bookmark.
4. Enter a name for your bookmark (Figure 9-5, middle).
This is the name that will appear in your Bookmarks bar, so try not to make it too long.
Now, whenever you want to run your script from Safari, simply click the script's name in the Bookmarks bar (Figure 9-5, bottom)...."
The caveat for me is that I've tried it and only the enclosing folder to the targeted application opens!! (This must be either a bug in my Safari version or else Adam's info is incorrect, I'd appreciate it if anyone could verify this, by the way).Please also see my post in the Applescript Forum "Safari Master Control of Numerous Applescripts...."
"Thanks in advance" for any future assistance and suggestions.
Sincerely,

Have yu tried the sandard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
