Adium AppleScript to change owning account?

I've been playing around with the AppleScript dictionary for Adium, and I have the feeling its a little under developed. My question is regarding to the "owning account" aspect of the dictionary. My estimation is that this will return the account tied to the contact. For example, if I'm "eroger01" I run "get owning account of contact 'myfriend1'", AppleScript should return "eroger01" as they are my buddy. Instead, I get "application 'Adium'" over and over for each contact. Is this normal?

The goad of this endeavor is to log into Adium using both of my AIM Screen Names, the old one and my new one (switching for various reasons), and I want an AppleScript to cycle through each buddy, check for its presence in Account1, and if that exists, set that contact to being owned by Account2 as well. This can be done manually under Get Info, where it will list each account and the buddy list tied to that contact in said account, but I have 100+, and prefer to cheat where I can :-). Anyway, if anyone could provide some insight, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Indeed, AppleScript in Adium is very basic and definitely unfinished. That's all I can really say though, as our priorities are elsewhere at the moment. There WILL be better support sometime in the future.
