It might be an escaping problem or something like that. You can see
the code for the external console here - there is an ominous "//FIXME:
make escaping work properly":
https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/blob/master/main/src/addins/MacPlatform/MacExternalConsoleProcess.cs

If you could build MD from source
(http://monodevelop.com/Developers/Mac_Support/Building_MonoDevelop_on_OS_X)
and modify that class to have it log the exact AppleScript command
it's running that fails, that would be very helpful. Else, please file
a bug at bugzilla.xamarin.com.
