Kinda new here, and hoping this isn't considered thread necromancy, but I was reading the above and the answer suggested itself to me:
It may need the SCRIPT bit set for the scripts to run. That can be done from the "info" dropdown menu, or "protect #?.ced +s".
I don't have CED installed on my UAE box, and my real boxes aren't set up right now so I can't test (my CED is older anyhow) .. but enabling the script bit may help there.
