You might try this
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/64307/alternative-to-additemtodock-from-henri-shustak
It is an AppleScript that executes the same 'defaults write...' I do
with the new dock item alias, but tells the dock to quit before the
write and then startup after the write. A proper dock exit and restart
(vs killing the process) may do a better job of preserving the dock
state. Use the 'do <statements> as applescript' command to execute it
(see the 'do' entry in the dictionary)

I'm sorry I don't have time myself at the moment to try it. If you d and
it works better, please let me know.
