I am still having the problem that my way of making loadDump doesn't
work.
I need to loadDump 5 xml-files in one turn, so that no user action is
required.
Thought I could just do it this way:

on makeDBs
  ListDBs = ["sorten","adress","berichte","mittel","literatur"]
  numberItems = ListDBs.count
  repeat with i = 1 to numberItems
    currentItem = ListDBs[i]
    loadDump currentItem
  end repeat
end

on loadDump currentItem
  put currentItem
  LoadDump( gExportDataBase, the moviepath & currentItem & ".xml", the moviepath & currentItem & ".vdb", 2 )
end

But this just makes one database (sorten).
What is my mistake?
(This probably is more a question of Director but somebody might
know...)

Regards

Henning
