passing multiple shell variables to ssh via applescript

Hi guys,

I keep getting this error when trying to assign multiple variables to an ssh applescript, i have done this before with other commands, i believe the error occurs at the last stage of the command:

osascript -e 'set volume 9'

Becuase when i take this out the script works, i'm assuming it is to do with the multiple sets of " " and ' ' but i really don't know ...

any suggestions or pointers?

Note: I am able to run applescripts remotely quite easily, but i want this script to work locally and be completely contained within this script for practice sake

i.e. so i learn, thanks guys
