What happens if you create a small python script that contains  
something like:

	from appscript import *

	myapp = app("LocalApp")
	myapp.open(File("filename"))

And likewise, what happens if you type 'open -a LocalApp filename' in  
the shell (also look in the console log with Console.app). In both  
cases replace LocalApp and filename by the real names.

And finally, what versions of PyObjC and appscript are you using?
