Thank you to everyone who has chipped in with suggestions for my problem.

Argecho.py confirms that I'm using the correct number of arguments to the Python script, I've updated MobiDeDrm using pdurrant's list of changes. I've even tried reinstalling Python from scratch, in case something got screwed in the initial install .... unfortunately, I just keep getting the "invalid PID" error with both of my PIDs. I can't think of anything else to try, so I think I'm just going to have to write this off as a bad job - it's just incredibly frustrating when other people get the script to work without a problem.

My stepson is a Mac addict, so I might try running the script on his machine if he's got Python installed.

Thanks again for all your help
