Solved. The error turned out that the .indexOf method that was being used in the second part (to find a word contained in the category string) requires a string. The entry.categories that was being called is not a string so I converted it to a string and the .index.Of method and the second part of the feed script then worked.
Thanks for your assistance; it certainly helped me look at my code a little closer.
