Repost: Code is not updating cursor cell value

Hi all,
I've posted this problem before, but I still haven't resolved the error. I'm writing a cellular automata code that changes the grid_code of a point based on the adjacent neighbor grid_codes. The point file is reclassified into likelihood of conversion. The code runs fine until it hits a point that needs to be converted. I'm using setValue to change the current grid code to the new one. The code and the error are shown below. Thanks for any suggestions...I'm at a loss of why it is not updating.

import sys, string, os, arcpy

arcpy.AddToolbox("C:/Program Files (x86)/ArcGIS/Desktop10.0/ArcToolbox/Toolboxes/Data Management Tools.tbx")

ifc = sys.argv[1]

ily = "Input Layer"

desc = arcpy.Describe(ifc)

arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(ifc,ily, "", "", "")
oid = desc.OIDFieldName

uc = arcpy.UpdateCursor(ifc)
line = uc.next()

for line in uc:    
    ci = line.getValue(oid)
    arcpy.AddMessage("The current FID value is " + str(ci))
    fi = line.getValue("GRID_CODE")
    arcpy.AddMessage("The current GridCode value is " + str(fi))
    sql = oid + " = " + str(ci)
    arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(ily,"NEW_SELECTION",sql)
    result = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(ily, "WITHIN_A_DISTANCE", ily, "45 meters", "NEW_SELECTION")
    sc = arcpy.SearchCursor(result)
    gridList = []
    OIDList = []
    for row in sc:
        item = row.getValue("GRID_CODE")
        id = row.getValue(oid)
        OIDList.append(id)
        gridList.append(item)
                        
    del row
    del sc

    arcpy.AddMessage("This is the updated value " + str(fi))
    
        
del line
del uc

Here are some of the print results from the message window when I run the code. I'm not sure why setValue is causing a problem.

The current GridCode value is 2.0

This is the updated value 2.0
The current FID value is 18
The current GridCode value is 1.0

Thanks for any help!

Looks to me like you should be using:
line.setValue("GRID_CODE",ni)

...instead of:
uc.setValue("GRID_CODE",ni)
