Hi, this is most likely the problem.  (Just make sure that if you've  
changed the name from csv2latex to csv2latex.rb you either reflect  
that change in the Applescript, or change it back so that the  
Applescript actually calls the correct execuatble.) As the author of  
csv2latex I'd like to improve the documentation, if possible. The  
documentation does mention to make sure the file is executable, but  
perhaps I should make this clearer by giving the exact commands to do  
so?   Would that have been helpful to you?
