The problem is that there is no stack "libUrl" for your script to 
access. (Jan, were you using the Metacard side of your brain? :))

To make a libUrl stack from within Rev, you could do this.

Create a new mainstack and name it myLibUrl (or whatever) and save it 
as myLibUrl.rev.

In a button, put the following script (take care of wrapping in mail):

on mouseUp
   set the script of  stack "myLibUrl" to the script of button "revlibUrl" \
        of stack "revLibrary"
   set the customproperties of stack "myLibUrl" to the customproperties  \
        of button "revlibUrl" of stack "revLibrary"
   set the customProperties["cFtpGoodCodes"]  of stack "myLibUrl" to \
        the customProperties["cFtpGoodCodes"]  \
            of button "revlibUrl" of stack  "revLibrary"
    save stack "myLibUrl"
end mouseUp

I've never done the next bit, but I understand it works. (Someone 
please tell us if I'm wrong.)

Place the myLibUrl stack in the same location as your cgi script. 
Near the top of your cgi script, put the line:

start using stack "myLibUrl.rev"
