David,
 
Thank you for getting back so quickly with your suggestion.
Our org structure doesn't have the wf initiator as a manager - though why
would this stop it from working? Wouldn't the object ASBMANOFSL just try
and find the manager's manager (i.e. the wf initiator's manager)?
 
Any other top tips out there?
 
 
Cheers
Nicholas

Think you might need to check your PD Org structure and see if you have a
manager
for your wf_initiator.
 
Cheers
Dave
