Sure, I am using openSuSe 11.1 on x86_64 GNU/Linux, 
python2.6.
gimp --version
GNU Image Manipulation Program Version 2.6.2

The script script-autocrop.scm should be placed in in 
~/.gimp2.6/scripts

python -i autocrop.py

(gimp:8196): Gimp-Core-CRITICAL **: gimp_image_opened: 
assertion `GIMP_IS_GIMP (gimp)' failed
GIMP-Fehler: »/home/nwagner/)'« konnte nicht geöffnet 
werden: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

^CTraceback (most recent call last):

     pid, sts = os.waitpid(self.pid, 0)

directory missing
