Something is set wrong as I have cable access to the internet and can not even reach your page to get an error. I would help if I could but can't reach ya. I would suspect your server is having a little problem itself.

Just let it run, and it will come back with a status display eventually. The bigger the photo album, the longer it will take... You'll probably only want to set this flag, run the script, and then clear the flag again. Otherwise, you just keep re-creating all thos files.
