So after messing around with the execute tags in createDiaryRecord, I've managed to find out a few things about them.

Second, for using things that require strings as inputs (hint, execVM, etc...) you have to define a string beforehand, then reference the string in the expression. Otherwise you'll end up with the game thinking the createDiaryRecord ends too early.
Example:
codestring = "script.sqf";
player createDiaryRecord ["diary", ["Title", "<executeClose expression='execVM codestring'>Text</execute>"]]; Superxpdude - 23:57, 26 March 2014
