Dataset error on MAC for linked file

Question

Hello all,
I am trying to make use of Variables panel in Illustrator CS6 Mac version. I added a Path variable. Then placed an image in the document and added a variable for the link file. Created two datasets with default names. Then when I try to switch between two datasets it gives me error "The filter cannot complete because of an unknown error".
On PC it works fine on Mac why the Variable palette is not working. Am I missing anything here. If I just have Path or Text Variables it works fine.
Please do let me know.
Thanks all in Advance.
Regards
Farzana.

Hi Laura,
If you are using SBO 2004 you should not be using this method of loading the srf form (Loadbatch actions is for SBO 6.5). Here is code in VB .Net the load it - you can convert it (I don't have it in c#).
Private Sub btnXMLForm67_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnXMLForm67.Click
Dim oXMLDoc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument       
Dim xmlData As String = "C:\Training2004\Code\SBOTest\VideoStore\XMLForms\AddMovie.srf"
        Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
        Dim creationPackage As SAPbouiCOM.FormCreationParams
        'Create the FormCreationParams object
        creationPackage = oAppObj.SBO_App.CreateObject( _
        SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_FormCreationParams)
        'Specify the parameters in the object
        creationPackage.UniqueID = "SOS_MyFormID"
        creationPackage.FormType = "60004"
        creationPackage.BorderStyle = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormBorderStyle.fbs_Fixed
        oXMLDoc.load(xmlData)
        'Just a sample for a XML string describing a form… same as used for LoadBatchActions
        creationPackage.XmlData = oXMLDoc.InnerXml
        'Add the form to the SBO application
        Try
            oForm = oAppObj.SBO_App.Forms.AddEx(creationPackage)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Exit Sub
        End Try
        'Set the form title and visibility
        oForm.Title = oForm.Title & "-2004"
        oForm.Visible = True
    End Sub
