Great.

JFYI, I am going to add the symlinks to the openSUSE OOo packages as well.

It is hard to say. One idea that comes to my mind is that many OOo operations 
are asynchronous. The functions sometimes ends before the operations are 
actually finished. The testautomation scripts include many sleeps to cope 
with this :-(

If you are interested, you might get the testautomation sources at 
http://download.openoffice.org/next/other.html. The tests are done by 
StartBasic scripts.
