custom propertieset woes

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Claudi,

It's hard to tell from this what the problem is. I tell you that a script 
will rarely work
on the first 2 iterations and not the third - without some kind of script 
error to start
with. I use custom prop sets a lot and never seen this problem...

It might be easier if you show us your script... 

cheers
Xavier
