Hi Richard,

The info you provided doesn't make anything clear, because it says  
nothing about how your scripts work. If I understand your original  
post correctly, the problem is not the updating or downloading of the  
stacks, but the inability to access the data. So, what triggers the  
script that reads the data? Can you post the handler which calls this  
script, for a start?

Mark
