When you get a syntax error from a script that is known to work, the most likely cause is the wrong version of Python. Most scripts still require version 2.6, not the very new Python 3.0.

The usual reason for a PID problem, e.g. with my (perfectly legal) pid_checksum script, is that the arguments may need to be in quotes (single quotes on the Mac).

Another possible reason is that the MOBI isn't protected by a PID. Open Desktop Mobipocket Reader in "eBook" view, right click on the ebook, and select properties -> summary. If it says "Content Encrypted" then the ebook has DRM but no PID, see content encryption.
