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?
