The problem you're experiencing here is that NotebookLocate[]
returns Null. The behavior of SelectionEvaluate[Null] is
not defined in any documentation I could find, but the
behavior does appear to have changed from version 3 to
version 4.
I suggest the following code instead:
SelectionEvaluate[
NotebookLocate[{notebookname,cellname}]; SelectedNotebook[]
]
