Thanks Steve. It works. BUT it doesn't work if I try and re-name an item. When I click on an item and select rename (from the Ctrl+click menu) the script doesn't work.
It only works if I am just selecting the item. Any ideas? What I am trying to do is get the modified date of the item and be able to rename the item by appending the modified date to the end of the filename (but before the file extension). I was trying to do it using a TypeIt4Me abbreviation - .e.g so that every time I typed "ytag" the item's modified date would be returned when I am renaming it.

If you want to get the modification date of an "item" in Yojimbo: tell application "Yojimbo" set selectedItem to selection set modDate to modification date of item 1 of selectedItem end tell EOM
