You don't want to do this.
Setting error to true will cause the script to stop executing and
display an error message. That's what you're seeing there.

Instead, set error=True, and return your error message in retstring
the way you're currently doing it. Then on return from your external
call check the value of "the result".

     if the result is not empty then
       errorDialog the result
     end if
