Indesign CS --> Adobe Indesign CS3

I've been using a small handler (below) in InDesign CS to make a new page and apply a master page.

This is kind of broken in CS3, When you apply this script twice (to create a double page master) the right hand side contains both left and right master spread elements.

I say kind of, because there is a way to solve it..

There are two issues.

1) removing "override master page item.. " line works, although then there is no point then because I can't do what I want to the page items..

2) The left hand side of my double page master is grouped, although some of it's rectangles extend over to the right page of the master spread, if I remove the extending rectangles it works correctly although from a design perspective, these rectangles have to remain (damned designers! )

This might sound a little confusing, and if someone is prepared to take a look, I can always mail the indesign doc directly to someone..

My main confusion is that this works in CS and not in CS3.. I'm guessing I'm overlooking a dictionary change?

Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks
