With so many unspecified tables it's hard to be sure where the error
comes from. Can you submit a small complete failing script with tBlock1,
tBlock2 filled in with some trivial data eg 'A', 'B', 'C' etc? That way
I can debug it. I suspect it's that the data isn't a list of lists.
If tBlock1/2 are themselves lists then this should work, but if they're
tables then the data just looks like

[1,2] and doesn't look like [[1,2]].
