Rev likes the path formed before referring to it. Try this:

on mouseUp
  answer file "Please select a file."
  put there is a file it -- don't really need this check
  put "file:"&it into tPath
  put URL tPath into field "Entities"
end mouseUp

You don't need the check for the file since you've just selected it
via the answer file dialog. More typically you'll use something like
this after the answer statement:

 if it is empty then exit mouseup
