Cannot delete record(s) from background script

This is the script I'm trying to run (in Global scope):

(function () {
    gs.print("First, deleting any old records.");
    var record = false;
	record = new GlideRecord('sn_wsd_core_workplace_profile');
    record.query();
	if (record.next()) {
        gs.print("Deleting "+record.getRowCount()+' sn_wsd_core_workplace_profile records.');
        record.deleteMultiple();
    }
	record = new GlideRecord('sn_wsd_core_space');
    record.query();
	if (record.next()) {
        gs.print("Deleting "+record.getRowCount()+' sn_wsd_core_space records.');
        record.deleteMultiple();
    }
	record = new GlideRecord('sn_wsd_core_floor');
    record.query();
	if (record.next()) {
        gs.print("Deleting "+record.getRowCount()+' sn_wsd_core_floor records.');
        record.deleteMultiple();
    }
	record = new GlideRecord('sn_wsd_core_building');
    record.query();
	if (record.next()) {
        gs.print("Deleting "+record.getRowCount()+' sn_wsd_core_building records.');
        record.deleteMultiple();
    }
	record = new GlideRecord('sn_wsd_core_campus');
    record.query();
	if (record.next()) {
        gs.print("Deleting "+record.getRowCount()+' sn_wsd_core_campus records.');
        record.deleteMultiple();
    }
	record = new GlideRecord('sn_wsd_core_site');
    record.query();
	if (record.next()) {
        gs.print("Deleting "+record.getRowCount()+' sn_wsd_core_site records.');
        record.deleteMultiple();
    }
	record = new GlideRecord('sn_wsd_core_region');
    record.query();
	if (record.next()) {
        gs.print("Deleting "+record.getRowCount()+' sn_wsd_core_region records.');
        record.deleteMultiple();
    }
}();

 

This is the result I get:

Well, this sucks. So I change my application scope to "Workplace Safety Management", run the script, same issue.
So then, while I'm still in Workplace Safety Management scope, I go to each of those tables and click the "Delete" checkbox:
find_real_file.png

I even go into the Workspace Location table (which is extended by most of the above listed tables) and set "Can delete" to true:
find_real_file.png

I try running the script... same result!

So then I do my least favorite thing of all in ServiceNow... open Studio (bleh)

find_real_file.png

Then try to go into settings:

find_real_file.png

But oh look, isn't this lovely:

find_real_file.png

I mean c'mon.

Anyone know what magic mantra's I need to chant to allow me to run some scripts to clean out old records?
