The first line is executing the shell command.
Then the second line is trying the execute the command:
   Shell("/Users/slynch/Desktop/FCPUTIL_GUI/fcputil -S getstats")
which is a valid Rev command, but not a valid shell command.

Try this:

on MouseUp
  put "/Users/slynch/Desktop/FCPUTIL_GUI/fcputil -S getstats" into tShellCommand
  put Shell(tShellCommand) into tFilesList
  answer tFilesList
end MouseUp

Cheers,
Sarah
