Jennifer,
When adding a Python object to a VLArray, PyTables first pickles the
object. It looks like you're trying to add something that can't be
pickled. Check the type of the 'state' variable in the first line of the
stack trace and make sure it's something that can be pickled. See [1] for
more details.
Hope that helps,
Josh
