Thank you for mentioning this. I had been working (for far too long) on some new AppleScript code for smart rules, and after a ridiculous amount of time getting it working (in a debugger, outside of DEVONthink), when I put everything together in a smart rule, I got the dreaded error -1708.

It inspired me to keep searching, and eventually to a discovery described in this posting:
