SaveAs() not working for me.

Question

Haven't touched Javascript in some 10 years.  Yikes.  Coming from C & Perl, I'm still fumbling about.  I've written a crude script to take the current selection, copy, and save to a new file.  Problem is, saveAs() always gives me an 8800 Error (General Photoshop Error).  Probably the worst kinda since it basically tells you nothing.
I've attached the code.  Any help is appreciated.  I'm on CS4, btw.

Your code is not yet available but this might help..
//IE:-
var example = File("~/FileName.jpg");
SaveJPEG(example,12);

saveBMP.flipRowOrder = false;
saveBMP.rleCompression = false;
saveBMP.osType = OperatingSystem.WINDOWS;
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, saveBMP, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
saveTarga(saveFile){
targaSaveOptions = new TargaSaveOptions();
targaSaveOptions.alphaChannels = true;
