Is it that there's no window matching "VolumeControlScreenlet.py" at the
time that add-screenlets-matcher is run?  Try:

( define ( add-screenlets-matcher win pos )
  ( add-window-matcher 'WM_NAME win
       `( position . ,pos )
       '( fixed-position . t )
       '( cycle-skip . t )
       '( depth . -2 )
       '( never-maximize . t )
       '( never-iconify . t ) 
       '( no-group . t ) ) )
  (let ((w (get-window-by-name-re win)))
    (when w
      (make-window-sticky w t) 
      (make-window-sticky/viewport w t)))

If that eliminates the error that's probably what's going on.

Why not?  Would it work to start the screenlets from
after-initialization-hook?
