I looked at it and there is definatly a bug in the script, now my
question to you is why/what is the bug and how could you fix it.  It
would be a good idea to write a short 5-10 line script that has the
same behavior.  Then post it on to the list and then we can point out
how you did it wrong until you do it correctly.  Then you will have
learned something instead of punting.  get your fishing pole and go to
work.
