i tried it again on 10.9.3 and it works just as expected. Are you sure you made no mistakes while copy and pasting?
Try downloading the script via http://porzky.com/wp-content/uploads/MovetoFollow-Up.scpt
Also got errors on the script above.
Here's a script that worked for me:

*)
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
(* set account *)
set thisAccount to exchange account "NAME_OF_OUTLOOK_ACCOUNT" -- e.g "Tom", "Work", "Your-Company-Name"
set thisFolders to mail folder of thisAccount
(* find the particular folder I want to put all the messages in.
the idea in this script is that you might want to move the emails to a subfolder of some root folder.
in the example below, "Archived" is a subfolder of "Processed email".
if "Archived" is not a subfolder then just move the message to "thisRoot" directly (see comments inline)
*)
repeat with theFolder in thisFolders
if name of theFolder is "Processed email" then -- change name to "Archived" if "Archived" is not a sub folder
set thisRoot to theFolder
end if
end repeat
set destFolder to folder "Archived" of thisRoot -- comment this line out if "Archived" is not a sub folder
set currMsgs to current messages
(* move all the messages *)
repeat with theMessage in currMsgs
move theMessage to destFolder -- replace with line below if "Archived" is not a sub folder
-- move theMessage to thisRoot
end repeat
end tell

I keep getting a "Syntax Error" when trying to compile: "Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier." Does for lines 11, 19 & 21. The script used to work, not sure why it won't anymore.
