Right, this doesn't work because that file is marked as a 'script' which 
means that if called directly, acre will load it and *execute it* and 
then return you the results of that execution, which is empty since that 
script doesn't write anything to the output.

I've made a copy of that file and marked it as 'file' instead of script, 
so that Acre will just send it back to you instead of executing it. Find 
it at

  http://libraries.apps.freebase.dev.freebaseapps.com/date_client_side

Hope this helps.
