What's this all about?  I created a couple versions of a pour point layer, one a point shapefile, another a point FC in a file geodatabase, but when I try to snap either version of the point to an accumulation  raster in the python window I get:
>>> snappourfill = SnapPourPoint("point2","accumfill",20)
Runtime error <class 'arcgisscripting.ExecuteError'>: ERROR 000861: Pour point field:  is not valid. 


Edit:  But snappourfill = SnapPourPoint("point2","accumfill",20,"Id") does work. So even though the help system for Arc Desktop 10 says the third parameter, the pour_point_field, is optional, apparently it is required. 

No reference to Error 000861 found searching Support.
