Did you try adding app.quit() to the end of your script?

I have tried the same thing, and I've found that if I use such a script in the startup folder, AE doesn't quit.

But if i run it through the editor or open it in AE, my script does the things I want it to do, which ends with AE quitting.

Any suggestions on how to make it work?

I just put this script in my Startup folder and it worked as expected. Does it work for you?

I've tried it, and it didn't work on my Mac.
But then I tried it on a PC and it worked!

I did another try on AE CS4, and it worked perfectly on my Mac...

I'm normaly working on AE CS5, so maybe it's a CS5 problem, but only on Mac?

I've just tried it on CS5 too and can confirm it doesn't work for me on CS5 Mac either. Looks like a bug.
