I suspect that you need to declare the "txmap" variable type-- RenderMan isn't  
going to be able to figure it out by itself.... add something like this to it:

Declare "txmap" "string"
 
(I think it is "string"-- you might have to hack around a moment to figure it  
out)

BTW:  For those interested, pick up the latest release of SmartFieldsPalette  
from the archive sites (the 3.0 version should be available later  
today/tomorrow sometime) and check out the info panel-- it has a 3DReality  
created animation in it.... sort of cool.  Excuse the slowness on opening;  it  
is a jpeg compressed set of TIFF images....
