I haven't used appleEvents for years, but the way I'd debug this would 
be to change the receiving handler to show the parameters and see what 
you get:

on appleevent
  repeat with x = 1 to the paramcount
    put x && "=" && param(x)
  end repeat
end appleevent

That may show you what is being sent and give you an idea of what's 
wrong. The type may not always be "aevt".
