removed response for clarity. Added to Question.
Aug 7, 2012 at 1:06 comment added PolyGeo No problem - experimentation is good - but I think keeping my suggestions separate from what you are seeing in response will keep things easier to follow

Aug 7, 2012 at 1:00 comment added GeorgeC Sorry about this. I haven't done this before either and I'll chalk it up to an experiment that didn't work.
Aug 7, 2012 at 0:32 comment added PolyGeo I've not had responses edited into my Answer before and am thinking that may make it confusing. Would it work for you to take your response out into a separate Answer that just you Edit? For now I've updated my test script so that it reports the MXDList being processed and lets me see what you are getting back from the tool dialog.

Updated test script to account for MXDs with spaces in name/path & to show MXDList value

Aug 6, 2012 at 23:12 comment added GeorgeC sorry...same issue. See edits.\
Aug 6, 2012 at 23:02 comment added PolyGeo That's weird, but at least gives another angle to investigate from. Is there any chance that when the df line hangs, that it is not just slow rather than halted? Does the code work when you choose one or two of the simplest MXDs you have on your system? If it works for simple MXDs (like it does for me) then maybe we need to see what is special about the ones you are working with.

added test to answer so that it is easier to follow. Hope this is ok?
