Here is a script that gets around the lack of discrimination in the 
scrollbarDrag message:

on scrollbardrag
   put item 1 of the mouseLoc into X
   put item 2 of the mouseLoc into Y
   if X>=(the right of the target -the scrollbarWidth of the target) 
then put "Vertical scroll"
   if Y>=(the bottom of the target -the scrollbarWidth of the target) 
then put "Horizontal scroll"
end scrollbardrag

Works OK in my minimal testing, hope it helps you.
