  I would presume the udo is a representation of a mesh object. Mesh objects
are not allowed in any csg operation except for the union operation. You
will either have to reconstruct it using Pov primiatives or try differencing
your script from a flat box or something similar and attach it as a plaque
or some similar senario.
