error is

The problem is that I don't know what's the script you are using, name/link?

There are 2 scripts in that thread, but none of them corresponds to the result you have.
over_the_hedge.bms gives an error at line 68 (not 10) while the nitro_archive one doesn't even have a corresponding signature.

Anyway I decided to take a look at the archive and it's really a mess.
I have tried to make something for extracting the data but there is for sure more work to do (I don't think I will continue on it):
