Thanks for all the suggestions re the above. I have fixed the problem, although I could do with some more XP help (see next post!).
In short, as far as I can make out, XP home and professional cannot read a custom property from an encrypted stack via a preopenstack handler. Each gives a different but equally wrong result. I had committed to this as a means of discouraging piracy - names of authorised users were stored in the encrypted stack. Shifting the script to openstack solved the problem.
