ERROR 000499: table is not editable?

Anonymous User — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:15:02 GMT

I need help figuring out why I get:

ERROR 000499: table is not editable
Failed to execute (JoinField).

I have three feature classes. Polyline, Point and Polygon. I'm doing a FieldJoin on the Point and Polygon. When I let my python script do it I get the error. If I do it manually in the console it works fine.

What gives? What am I missing?

My log:
