Hmm, the "volume incorrect" bit must be a bug in the program that generated 
the errors for macPython, because according to Errors.h error -10003 is 
"errAENotModifiable". This definitely looks like an AppleEvent error.

Let me see if I can dig it out of IM... [pom pom....] Ah. This happens if you 
send, for instance, a create request to an object that can't be modified.

This means that either the logic of the Python script is incorrect, or that 
there's a bug in MacPython's object-id creation code.
