Applescript with mysql problem (An error of type 1 has occured)

Question

Hi all!
I'm quite new to scripting with applescript...
Currently I'm trying to get applescript to connect to a remote mysql-database, and execute a insert-command.
All is working fine, when I just use a select-command.
But when I try to use my insert-query, I get this error:
"An error of type 1 has occured".
I've googled high and low, but cant seem to find out either if this is mysql returning the error-code or if it's applescript returning it.
set mySQLList to {"/usr/local/mysql-5.1.30-osx10.5-x86/bin/", "/Library/mysql-5.1.30-osx10.5-x86/bin"}
repeat with i from 1 to the count of mySQLList
     try
          set theResult to do shell script (item i of mySQLList) & "mysql -V"
          set gPathToMySQL to (item i of mySQLList)
          set haveFound to true
          exit repeat
     end try
end repeat
set gmySQLCommand to gPathToMySQL & "mysql"
set theHost to "server"
set theUser to "username"
set thePassword to "password"
set thePort to "3306"
set theDatabase to "database"
set theTable to "recivedMail"
set theLoginString to " -h " & theHost & " -u " & theUser & "  --password=" & thePassword
set dataBaseString to " -D " & "'" & theDatabase & "'"
--set theCommand to gmySQLCommand & theLoginString & dataBaseString & " -e \"" & "select count(*) from recivedMail;" & "\""
set theCommand to gmySQLCommand & theLoginString & dataBaseString & " -e \"" & "INSERT INTO database.recivedMail (sentTo,ticket,dateRecived) VALUES ('[email protected]', 'en ticket', '2009-01-21 17:15:56'); " & "\""
-- set theCommand to gmySQLCommand & theLoginString & dataBaseString & " -e \"" & "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM recivedMail;" & "\""
set theResult to ""
--display dialog theCommand
try
     set theResult to do shell script theCommand
on error errMsg
     display dialog errMsg
end try
return theResult
can someone here help me out?

I just had the same problem you described below. I did some searching on the subject in the forums and there seems to be an issue with A.Pack on dual processor machines. I kept getting errors until I shut one of the processors off. The encoding went thru on the first attempt after that.
There is a system preference pane called Processor that will allow you to shut off one of the processors. Then launch A.Pack and encode. I believe this preference pane is installed when you install the developer software with xcode. The developer software can be found on the Tiger install disc.
Also, they have done away with A.Pack and this issue in DVDSP 4. Apparently A.Pack is integrated somehow into Compressor.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
