Does the script fail silently, or do you get an error message? And if it fails silently, do you suppose you might be able to add some error checking to the script so that it will complain if something goes wrong? You're going to need to uncover and report to us some clues before anyone can meaningfully help you to ascertain what's wrong.

Also, is there any way you can post relevant portions of the code, or at least a small example script that replicates the failure? Otherwise, we're only going to be able to guess, and you don't really want to settle for guesses when by providing a little more background you could get accurate answers.
