faunus script map completing but not mutating graph - gremlin

Question

Prelude: Several months experience using both Gremlin "dialects" for FaunusGraph & TitanGraph, so well aware of the functional and syntactic diffs. Have successfully used Faunus script step (http://architects.dzone.com/articles/distributed-graph-computing , https://github.com/thinkaurelius/faunus/blob/master/src/main/java/com/thinkaurelius/faunus/mapreduce/sideeffect/ScriptMap.java) for relatively simple deletion & mutation of subgraphs.
Problem: Implemented a complex mutation script map to "move" edge properties to either the out-vertex or the in-vertex per a direction-oriented convention for naming properties. My TitanGraph Gremlin prototype works on small graphs, but I can't get the scaled-up implementation to work: the map completes successfully but the graph isn't changed (I am committing the changes). NOTE: my Logger object is only outputing the first INFO message that displays the prefix args, indicating I'm not satifying the edge namespace guard condition (I did a run without the condition, but no change). Following is my code (fat-fingering from an internal net, so typos are possible)
//faunus pipe driver - usage gremlin -e faunus.ns.set-props.grm
import java.io.Console
//get args
console=System.console()
arg=console.readLine('> type <namespace>;<faunus.ns.set-props.mapper_path>;<from_prefix>;<to_prefix>
inargs=arg.split(";")
//establish FaunusGraph connection
f=FaunusFactory.open('titan-client.properties')
f.getConf().set("faunus.graph.input.titan.storage.read-consistency-level", "ALL")
f.getConf().set("faunus.graph.input.titan.storage.write-consistency-level", "ALL")
//Faunus pipe incl. script step
f.V().has("_namespace", inargs[0]).script(inargs[1], inargs[2], inargs[3]
//script map - usage f.V().has("_namespace", <namespace_string>).script(<this_script_path>, <outV_key_prefix_string>, <inV_key_prefix_string>)

This line:
if (e.hasProperty("_namespace")) {
hasProperty doesn't seem to be in the Blueprints API or the Titan API. Since that is the case, I'm not sure how this code worked in your smaller test db, as it will always resolve to false and you will never see the inside of that if statement:
gremlin> x = TinkerGraphFactory.createTinkerGraph()
==>tinkergraph[vertices:6 edges:6]
gremlin> v = x.V('name','marko').next()
==>v[1]
gremlin> if (v.hasProperty('name')) { true } else { false }
==>false
I suppose you really want to try this:
gremlin> if (v.getProperty('name')) { true } else { false }
==>true
gremlin> if (v.getProperty('xxx')) { true } else { false }
==>false
