Quicksilver/Growl/Twitter Menage A Trois

How can I get Quicksilver, Growl and Twitter to play nice with one another?
I'm looking to tweet via Quicksilver. And have Growl tell me that it was done. And have something in there check my length. I've found a script to do this:
I'm no programmer, and I'm using the script from here [(http://jwdunn.com/2007/11/29/how-i-use-quicksilver-ii-scripts/) see "For Tweeting"], and the instructions from here (http://blog.codahale.com/2007/01/15/tweet-twitter-quicksilver/).
I didn't have an "actions" folder, so I created one. And Growl registered my script. It just isn't actually sending the tweet. I've got Twitterific, so that has my login information in my keychain, and I changed the script from:
set twitter_key to first Internet key of current keychain whose server is "twitter.com"
to
set twitter_key to first generic key of current keychain whose name is "Twitterrific"
Still nothing.
Any further advice?

Response by poster: Thanks a lot...gave it a whirl, but he's at the same point as me. Anyone else want to compare notes? Or have it working?

I followed the instructions, created the folder (just like whybesubtle did), and it works perfectly. I'm not using Growl, though.

Response by poster: Solved and solved, via the magic solution of "keep on doing the same thing until it works." I'm sure I missed a step in there the previous times. Thanks for your help!
