I have a script to investigate mxd's and save them as lyr symbology/kmz and sld which works fine when run from the .py but does not run when used as a tool from arctoolbox. I have tried arcpy.AddMessage statements to see what's wrong but it just does not work.
Please help...

and that's it. The text 'working 2...' from the arcpy.AddMessages doesn't work.

So basically it hangs on the df list. There is no further error message even if you try to capture it.
Test on simple mxd is below. Note that this works fine when run as a python script directly.
