Because containers for tools don't get created until the tool is used the first time. It is the same reason there is not a wiki, discussion, or calendar folder when the site gets created.

The workaround is simple though. Modify your script to check to see if the documentLibrary node exists. If it does not, just create it. You can look up an existing documentLibrary folder in the node browser to make sure you get the type and name exactly right.

Thanks, Jeff.

I'll create the necessary nodes in my script.
