  I don't think it is that, because when I run
it in a page it works fine. 
 This is not a good indicator because the servlet context (when you run
 your script in a wiki page) is very different than the "daemon"
 context (when your script is triggered by a scheduler). In the later
 you don't have the (servlet) request and response objects and thus you
 don't have a current document.

 Hope this helps,
 Marius

Thanks but in that case how can I debug the daemon script? It doesn't do
what it is meant to do, and that's all I know. What's stranger is that it
sometimes gets further through the scrip than other times.
