The problem is that the floating point numbers for the r, g, and b values are using comma as the decimal number separator (e.g. "0,58", a common formatting convention outside the U.S. for expressing decimal fractions), but the defaults command expects a period (e.g. "0.58", the convention in the U.S.).
Presumably AppleScript is formatting those numbers with commas based on your Language & Text locale settings in System Preferences. I'm not sure off-hand how to convince AppleScript to use the U.S. format other than to temporarily change your number format settings in System Preferences.
