Known problem.  Someone (I think) volunteered to look at this awhile ago but
hasn't yet.

I'm not entirely surprised there are problems.  I haven't touched the script
in ages.  It's just a little screen scraper I cobbled together from other
pieces I had lying about, so if there have been any changes to SF's page
layout, this stuff might well break.  I don't suppose SF has developed a
SOAP or XML-RPC interface by now?

I'll take a quick look at the code.  If you'd like to contribute your
eyeballs as well, have a look at
