This should only happen when ZoLook finds a description string that
begins with the "@" character. It assumes this indicates a MUF that
is to be executed -- a convention from the old days of FurryMUCK,
apparently -- and it tries to match the rest of the string as either
a dbref number or an @reg value. (It's a deprecated method of
putting MUF code into a desc anyhow; the modern way is to use an MPI
{muf:} command.)

If it can't match the string to any kind of executable MUF object,
then it coughs up the error message you saw.

I'm pretty curious as to what the room editor and @desc are actually
setting. Could you give any example of the properties?
