function 'getURL()' seems to work only once

Hi,

While running a dxl script i was noting the fact that the function 'getURL' seemed to work only once.
My code looks like this(i've shortened it a bit to make it easier to read):
 

pragma runLim,0
 
#include <utils/helpers.inc>
 
 
string logFilename      = "D:\\xx.log"
Stream logfile          = append(logFilename)
logfile << dateAndTime(today) " #start\n"
 
string targetFolder
 
bool hasExtLink  = false
 
Buffer sourceURL = create
 
Object o
Object sourceObject
 
//*****************************************************************************************************************************
void findSourceObject(Link l) {
 
    sourceObject = source (l)
        sourceURL = getURL(sourceObject)
}
//*****************************************************************************************************************************
//*****************************************************************************************************************************
void processModule(string moduleName) {
 
        m = edit(moduleName, false)
        logfile << dateAndTime(today) " now processing module '" moduleName "'\n"
                
        for o in entire m do {                
                                
                sourceURL = ""
                
                
                openSourceModules(o)
                                                        
                Link lnk
                for lnk in o <- "*" do if (prefixCorrect(module source (lnk), "TRS")) if (moduleHasAttribute(module source (lnk), "xx")) findSourceObject(lnk)         
                        
                //check if external link to sourceObject already exists
                logfile << dateAndTime(today) " LS '" fullName(m) "' '" o."Absolute Number" "' linkString is '" tempStringOf(sourceURL) "'\n"
                if (tempStringOf(sourceURL) != "") {
                                                
                        hasExtLink = false
                        
                        ExternalLink el
                        for el in o -> "*" do hasExtLink = true
                        
                        //if not: create external link to sourceObject
                        if (!hasExtLink) {
                                create(o, "sourceObject", "dailyUpdate.sourceLink", outward, openAsURL, tempStringOf(sourceURL), el)
                                logfile << dateAndTime(today) " L  '" fullName(m) "' '" o."Absolute Number" "' Create ExtLink to '" sourceURL "'\n"
                        }//end if (!hasExtLink)
                        
                }//end if (tempStringOf(sourceURL) != "")
                                                
        
        }//end for object in entire module
        save (m)
        close(m)
}
//*****************************************************************************************************************************
//*****************************************************************************************************************************
 
        Item i
        for i in folder targetFolder do if (type(i) == "Formal") processModule (fullName(i))
 
        closeAllModules()
}// end read config
//*****************************************************************************************************************************
 
delete(sourceURL)
 
 
logfile << dateAndTime(today) " #stop dailyUpdate\n"
 
flush(logfile)
close(logfile)

The logfile entry LS gives me for the first processed object:
05/04/10 10:31:21 LS '/x/x/x' '1098' linkString is 'doors://oekawsdo03.hbi.ad.harman.com:36677/?version=2&prodID=0&view=00000004&urn=urn:telelogic:7db02610-4945-11df-a300-79500921a422:1-403f20f05b213b1a-O-2255-0000ee05'
and for all objects processed after this an emtpy linkString:
05/04/10 10:31:22 LS '/x/x/x' '847' linkString is ''

Any ideas on this?
btw i get no dxl errors..

Regards,
Manuel
