As you suspected, the problem is with the file path. AppleScript uses
the old Apple file path delimiter ":" while Rev uses the Unix
delimiter "/". Also AppleScript requires the hard drive name to be
included in the path and Rev doesn't.

Your script will work fine if you change the /'s to :'s.

For changing back & forth, use the revMacFromUnixPath &
revUnixFromMacPath functions.

BTW, if you want to add the item to a specific playlist, you can
specify this in the "add" line e.g.
    add thisItem to playlist "Fav songs"

HTH,
