I had to add an alpha mask to 22 images. I just used ImageMagick as it was 
easy to do that way and saved the need to write a script. I've only looked 
briefly at your script. Nothing obvious jumps out at me. I'd look at the 
return values from the function calls. Some operations can change the ID's 
of layers or drawables and you need to use the new ID's for later operations.

I don't see why you used file globbing to get the alpha mask image. BTW, you 
can combine car and cadr in to one operation. In Script-Fu scripts you can 
have up to four letters between c and r for things like car, cadr, up all 
variations from caaaar to cddddr.
