Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here?

I'm writing a script to unimpose a vertically oriented booklet (a calendar, actually). The file has been set up with 11x17 page size and has been laid out with 8.5x11 pages imposed for the printer. The script is meant to produce reader's spreads that my clients can proof.

The script succeeds in testing page items for position (in order to select items on the top half of the page), but when it finds an item that is on the top half, I get an "invalid parameter" error on "select myitem with append selection." UNLESS the page being processed (page 2, since that's the first to be processed) is the active page.

If page 2 is the acttive page, then the script fails at the next step: pasting the items from the top half on page 15 (a blank page I've added at the end of the document). Instead of pasting onto page 15, it pastes the selection onto page 2 and then gets an error message that it "can't get selection of page 15."

I'm probably missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.

script is below:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
	set myDocument to active document
	repeat with i from 1 to 6
		tell page (i * 2) of myDocument
			repeat with myPageItemCounter from 1 to count page items
				set myitem to page item myPageItemCounter
				if item 3 of geometric bounds of myitem < 51.1 then
					select myitem with append selection
				end if
			end repeat
			cut
		end tell
		tell page 15 of myDocument
			paste
			move selection to {-1, -1}
		end tell
		tell page (i * 2 + 1) of myDocument
			repeat with myPageItemCounter from 1 to count page items
				set myitem to page item myPageItemCounter
				if item 3 of geometric bounds of myitem < 51.1 then
					select myitem with append selection
				end if
			end repeat
			cut
		end tell
		tell page (i * 2) of myDocument
			paste
			move selection to {-1, -1}
		end tell
		tell page 15 of myDocument
			select all page items
			cut
		end tell
		tell page (i * 2 + 1) of myDocument
			paste
			move selection to {-1, -1}
		end tell
	end repeat
end tell
