Returning any false value (zero, empty string, None) from a Script will 
appear to do nothing when tested.  By printing it, you convert it from 
the integer zero into the string "0".  You could just as easily do:

return str(resultcount)

...but I wouldn't, if you plan on calling this from other code and 
getting an integer back.
