You are busy with other things right now. You must 'stop' to do something else.

These are the triggers:
#CLASS {HerbBot}
#ALIAS herbpath {roomstovisit="";#lmap {%alias( %1)} {#additem roomstovisit %i};herbbotwalk}
#ALIAS herbbotwalk {#show Going to %item( @roomstovisit, 1), Called by %-1;#if (@roomstovisit!="") {#walk %item( @roomstovisit, 1);herbbotherb} {#beep}}
#ALIAS herbbotherb {tosearchfor="";#while (%nextroom( )!="") {#show OK, the mapper suxxors!;#show I am in %roomnum( ) waiting to go to %nextroom( );#wait 1000};#show Woot, the mapper has detected my move;roomstovisit=%delnitem( @roomstovisit, 1);#loop %numitems( @priolist) {#if (%pos( %item( @priolist, %i), %roomnote( ))) {#if (@tosearchfor="") {tosearchfor=%item( @priolist, %i)}}};#if (@tosearchfor=="") {#if (@quickherb!="") {tosearchfor="herbs"}};#if (@tosearchfor!="") {search here for @tosearchfor} {herbbotwalk _herbbotherb_}}
#VAR quickherb {0}
#VAR priolist {garlic|suranie|frostheal|oakmoss|fordinfa|madwort|ginger|whitehorn|numbis|lore|soapweed|wilcol|attanar|basil|carlith|chervil|chicory|curugwath|hemlock|kuko|oregano|sargassum|sumac|tarragon}
#VAR tosearchfor {garlic}
#VAR roomstovisit {}
#TRIGGER {You search everywhere, but find no herbs.} {herbbotwalk _find no herbs trigger_}
#TRIGGER {Your search reveals nothing special.} {#if (@roomstovisit!="") {herbbotwalk _nothing special trigger_}}
#TRIGGER {You don't find any here for to search.} {herbbotwalk _dont find any here_} "" {disable}
#TRIGGER {You find a(*)!} {pp herb;herbbotherb}
#CLASS 0

I really can't see that I am doing anything to cause
this behaviour, but perhaps I am just being thick-headed... any help is greatly appreciated.

I do see a possible circumstance for this,

In your herbbotwalk alias this is this snippet:
{#walk %item( @roomstovisit, 1);herbbotherb}

In your herbbotherb alias there is this snippet:
{herbbotwalk _herbbotherb_}

This sets up a loop situation. Combined with your use of #WAIT it is understandable that you are getting some odd occurences. I would suggest redesigning the flow of your script to take advantage of multiple alarms. You might also be able to use the onwalkend special alias, since you use #WALK to move to the next room.
