Thanks to everyone for their input on this issue. I think I have enough information to figure out what I'm going to do next -> which is contact JamF support. Once I used local user accounts for testing everyone's wonderful suggestions, everything worked as expected using Casper policies. However as soon as I took a working machine and used an ActiveDirectory network account with contains a _space_ in the name, then nothing works. 

I had contacted and confirmed a issue with JamF regarding adding Dock icons using Casper policies and we discovered that ActiveDirectory user accounts which contain spaces in the user's names breaks the policy and yields random results. I think this is related to the same issue in that all the scripting breaks with users who have spaces in their short names.

Thanks for your help everyone.
