Additional Information
Extra workflow needed for the export world file in 9.3.1Workaround
Use the Explorer Window to go into the folder where the file extensions of the rasters are visible. Find the world file for the tiff raster output from the Python Script. The extension to the file will be ".tfw". Place an "x" at the end of the file extension name so that it becomes (".tfwx"). This will cause ArcMap to read the extent from the source raster and not the world file, which is just an approximation.Steps to Reproduce
