UPDATE:

Thanks Wind, I just tried that, and still I get the following errors:

No checkbox "newsletters[17]" for value "17" in form at /home/hesco/li
+b/CMS/Drupal/SimpleNews.pm line 70
No checkbox "newsletters[34]" for value "34" in form at /home/hesco/li
+b/CMS/Drupal/SimpleNews.pm line 71
No checkbox "newsletters[71]" for value "71" in form at /home/hesco/li

No checkbox "newsletters[83]" for value "83" in form at /home/hesco/li

And to give some sense of the html I'm interacting with:

<div  class="form-item form-option" id="edit-newsletters-34-wrapper"> 
    <label class="option" for="edit-newsletters-34"><input type="check
+box" name="newsletters[34]" id="edit-newsletters-34" value="34"  chec
+ked="checked"  class="form-checkbox" /> Guests</label>  </div>

Can anyone please offer some additional guidance, please?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
