I tried your script and it works for me (with a different sound). Note
that the 'script' key does not work for this kind of event and the UUID
should not be used when not overwriting any default scripts (of which
none are currently enabled). A rewritten version is here:
{
name = 'New Mail';
events = ( 'account.synchronized' );
select = "$Inbox.filter(#flags.flag !=[x] '\\Seen')";
actions = ( { type = playSound; path = 'CashRegister.wav'; } );
}
The simple 'path' above makes MailMate look in '~/Library/Sounds', but
it should also work with a full path.

No, but I can see that there really should be.
Is your script located in:
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Scripts/SomeName.mmCommand
If MailMate fails to find the sound then an error is logged (look in
Console.app).
I'll work on introducing a debug variable for scripts, so let me know if
you still cannot make the script work. In general, scripts are still
experimental, but playing sounds and moving messages should work since I
use such scripts myself.
(Sounds, by the way, can be configured in the Preferences, but I guess
you are just playing with scripts.)
