you are probably better off editing dialogsubmenu.xml in the "\skin\name of skin you are using\PAL or NTSC\" folder and read what it says in there.

I think XBMC needs to be told to execute the python file as running it from a bookmark XBMC expects it to be an XBE.

In the dialogsubmenu file, you specify:

<execute>q:\scripts\iFilmBrowser\iFilmBrowser.py</execute>

HTH
