I tried a lot of AS and the error is related to the AS request.
For example, this to get the current playing track in iTunes:
tell application "iTunes"
set curr_path to get location of current track
return POSIX path of curr_path
end tell
The error:
NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = iTunes;
NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = "Can\U2019t get location of
current track.";
NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = "iTunes got an error: Can\U2019t get
location of current track.";
NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = -1728;
That suggests the iTunes player is currently stopped, in which case
a 'current track' reference usually isn't available. If you need to,
you can find out iTunes' current state by querying the application's
'player state' property. Or you can trap the -1728 error raised if
that's easier using a 'try' block.
FWIW, it's always a good idea to double-check AppleScript-related
problems in the [Apple]Script Editor before posting for help. If the
issue is NSAppleScript itself, post here or to the applescript-
implementors list for help. If it's a general AppleScript query, you
will have most luck posting it to applescript-users as that's where
most of the AppleScripting experts reside.

As i said in the first message, i checked the AS with AppleScript
Editor and also by executing the script with an ad hoc command tool
app that uses NSAppleScript. They both work!
iTunes was playing a track and the script works both on AppleScript
Editor and command line app. It doesn't work in the Service. I haven't
mentioned i'm writing a .service add-on and not a service provided by
an application.
