Respect to you for admitting that. I was surprised by your host's comments, as I have great respect for her technical competence, but I can see how if she's seeing only the errors when she tries to run the script, she might jump to the conclusions she drew.

I'd recommend using the version of the script that you can download from this site and ensuring that the location variable is set as per the installation instructions. Hopefully that will go smoothly for you, otherwise let us know.

I'm rather assuming that sterling's current performance makes this a bit of a priority!
