Using AppleScript with Accessibility and Security features in Mavericks

I have an AppleScript that works fine when run from the AppleScript Editor and has an errorr when run as an App. This problem is described by the following knowledgebase article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5914 However, in my case the first error appears, but the second dialog does not. I've tried Signing the AppleScript, but the error remains. Any suggestions?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 22 GB

A regular AppleScript application saves its properties to the script in the application bundle, which is seen as a new (different) application. If your script doesn't need to keep its properties (e.g. to save some current value for the next run), you can try making the script read only, then add the application to the Privacy list.
