This worked before >10.6 now it doesn't or it works sporatically.

I have a script that grabs the metadata from a track in iTunes (including artwork) then creates a record in FM and sets specific field. It all works except for the container field I'm trying to set with the artwork.

I get this error "error "FileMaker Pro Advanced got an error: Object or property is the wrong type." number -10001 to item"

With the code to set the container field omitted, the script works great. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's my script that is run within FileMaker so the on MakerRecord does not have a tell application "FileMaker Pro" step.
