possibly, if you could give us a little more info about your example. 
Like, what's in the variables "script" and "outdir"? What's the exact 
error message that you get?

You'll also reach more people (=> faster response times and more 
thorough discussions) if you post these kind of questions to the user 
mailing list first. The developers are subscribed to it too, and will 
chime in if necessary.

Best regards,
