Error -25923 assigning profile

Question

My automate plugin assigns a profile by playing "assignProfile" on the current document with a named "profile" parameter. This has worked fine in CS4, CS3 and earlier. But now in CS5 it fails whenever there is already a profile assigned to the document. (If there is no profile already assigned then there is no problem)

I have tried various workarounds, like clearing the existing profile first, setting the working profile first, assigning the profile more than once, even clearing the profile first by playing a recorded action. Nothing seems to work.

Has anyone else seen this or have any advice? Has anything changed in the implementation that I need to be aware of?

My original description of the problem was not quite correct. Seems the issue is that CS5 is not aware of my profile.

Before assigning a profile CS5 now checks that it is in a cached list of profiles and errors if it is not. CS4 and earlier never did this. CS5 only updates its list when either 1) the GUI is shown or 2) (if the cache is not yet built) the first time the assignProfile action is executed.

My plugin creates a new profile (potentially a different one each time) and puts it in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ and therefore it's not in the cached list. The reason I thought it had something to do with a profile already being assigned was that the first time I execute the action it always tended to succeed (because of 2.)

I'm still stuck of course.
