well, I guess the errors are too secret to share them with us? The first
I can see is that org-get-entry doesn't need parameters. And the overall
structure looks strange, but that could be just me ;).
The reason for the current behaviour is the interactive form of
org-attach-attach. Ad hoc I have no idea how to change that. What I
would try is to (cd your-wanted-dir) before calling org-attach-attach.
Maybe a bit of cleanup if useful after calling the function.
