strangely enough no error whatsoever appeared in the MOSS logs (no clue in Verbose mode either)

so I compared the SPWeb properties with the API, and noticed that __PublishingFeatureActivated was missing in the production site (not even false, just missing)

simply added it with the Sharepoint designer (like explained here http://www.moss2007.be/blogs/vandest/archive/2011/03/06/sharepoint-spweb-properties-versus-spweb-allproperties.aspx), et voila, the reports work now fine

I had a similar problem and your post pointed me in the right direction. In my case the property __PublishingFeatureActivated was set to false. I used reflector to see the logic of the code for generating the reports and the code logic checks to see if this is set to true and if it is it generates the correct report. Not sure how this property was changed as it is set by the publishing feature in the root site under site features and this was set to activated. The issue was notice around the time SP2 was installed. Good post. I had a similar problem and your post pointed me in the right direction.

But in my constellation the content and structure reports are working but not at the root of the web. If I break the structure down, I get the results. Now we want to have the possibility to get the reports from top of the root. Now I checked out the _SmtReportsListID and the Content and Structure Report GUID, and the result is both GUID are equal. The same is with the property _VarRelationshipsListID and the Relationship List GUID. Do you have some ideas what I have to do to get a result from the top. Thanks for help aga Hello Marc

Do you have some ideas what I have to do to get a result from the top. Thanks for help

It's a small bug in the SharePoint code (which may be fixed with the latest service packs). The fix that I've listed below simply corrects the broken link to the SharePoint Reports list. For a listing of the latest SharePoint 2007 service packs, see the following Microsoft TechNet page: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sharepointserver/bb735839.aspx Hope that helps clear things up a bit!

Thanks. Your code didn't work directly, but pointed me in the right direction. My problem was that the property for VariationRelationshipsListId wasn't set. So I followed your example, and modified it to get/set this parameter instead. I used SharePoint Manager 2007 to find the ID.

Use that key to find out what GUID the site is using... if you're having problems with reports, this is the old GUID (invalid). To find the valid GUID, just browse to the Reports list on the SharePoint site (SiteActions->View All Site Content, find Reports list). Once you're looking at the list, click the List Settings button. In the resulting page's url, you'll see an encoded version of the current list's GUID - that's a handy way to figure out the GUID Of any list! I then use that GUID (decoded from the URL) as a parameter in my command-line application.
