AppleScript cannot find files inside the DT database when their paths are changed to aliases. So, no luck there.
QuickKeys is happy to run the script with the errors remaining, so I've emulated the behavior of QS by blacklisting DEVONthink from the QS trigger and whitelisting DEVONthink on an identical QK trigger. All's well. It would be nice to find a Quicksilver-only solution, but I have not had any luck getting working aliases anywhere within the script (or a few variants).
