Workaround

Run the metadata geoprocessing tools interactively from their dialog boxes instead. The geoprocessing tools that are not models will also work when run in the Python window using arcgisscripting:import arcgisscriptinggp = arcgisscripting.create()gp.XSLTransform("c:/data/dataset.shp","c:/program files/arcgis/desktop9.4/metadata/stylesheets/gptools/exact copy of.xslt","c:/data/dataset_metadatacopy.xml","#")...instead of using arcpy:import arcpyarcpy.XSLTransform_conversion("c:/data/dataset.shp","c:/program files/arcgis/desktop9.4/metadata/stylesheets/gptools/exact copy of.xslt","c:/data/dataset_metadatacopy.xml","#")
