Alfresco Community 3.3G - Failed to signal transition NULL

Hello,

My custom advanced workflow was functioning well on Alfresco Labs.  Now I am running it on Alfresco Community 3.3G and I am getting "A system error happened during the operation: 04110001 Failed to signal transition 'null' from workflow task".  This happens when you Start Advanced Workflow and click Finish.  Does anybody have an idea what's wrong?  The log says: "Failed to execute supplied script: Group is a mandatory parameter".  But we are in start-state.  There is no "group" anything.

Thanks!

Found the problem… the script that runs before the transition failed.  Thus, the transition failed.

alfresco.log is your friend.  Look at the logs and see where the ERROR messages are.  This will point you in the right direction.
If you see: "Failed to execute supplied script: ReferenceError: "bpm_assignee" is not defined. (AlfrescoScript#1)" that could mean that either the task name was changed, or you had a plain old node instead of a task-node.  I've had this happen to me before too.
Ecmarchitect.com has a nice article on advanced workflows.  Read the part where it says "Connections between nodes signify the transition from one step to another…"  Then you will understand how transitions work.
