Eli suggests a fix. For myself, I would like to determine, for future
reference, where the detailed error message from such a failure is
likely to appear.

My guess is, a command like this

    journalctl --user --since=today

would offer some clues.

Another variant: have this

    journalctl --user -f

continuously running in a terminal window, double-click your script
icon, and see what appears.
