Hmm…in general I would steer clear of scripting bridge when equivalent 
functionality is available elsewhere. In this case, you can make use of the 
Quartz Event Services. There's a Stack Overflow answer here that should be able 
to get you started: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1938509/how-to-simulate-a-low-level-keypress-on-os-x

As for the exact problem you're facing, I'm not sure what the answer is. 
Looking at the AppleScript dictionary, it seems like "command down" and "option 
down" are special properties in the dictionary, but I don't recall at the 
moment how to extract dictionary properties from the library. Depending on 
where you extracted those numeric values from, there's a chance that they could 
be different on your system (i.e. enums might change between OS versions, since 
you're supposed to use them as enums and not numeric values).

But the short answer is: your code looks fine, and using enums/numeric 
constants like that should work as expected in MacRuby. Have you tried the 
equivalent code in Obj-C to see if this is specific to MacRuby?

Cheers,

Josh
