My guess is that this is exactly because you are deploying as a network app.  The COM model that microsoft utilizes requires that data be "registered" into the system's registry.  Since you haven't installed MarcEdit locally (and without knowing if the networked install shares registry information) -- my guess is that the vbs runtime isn't able to resolve the reference to the MarcEdit COM component, hence the error that you are receiving.  

Depending on the type of work that you are trying to script, you may have other options.  MarcEdit includes a command line program (cmarcedit.exe) that can allow you to pipe files through for processing.  This could allow you to modify scripts to switch from a COM model to a command line processing for making and breaking of data -- but I'd only go that route if your setup continues to make access to the COM objects through the network impossible.
