You need to escape all special symbols in the Nickname, so you need to transform the variable which contains the nickname ('nick' for example) to the following way:

regsub -all "{|}|[|]" $nick "\&" nick

The most likely cause of the problem is the author of the script using list commands on strings (i.e. not splitting when needed) and/or not using split/list in timers.

I assume you're using the latest version of the script and you've already reported the problem to the author?

If you can't contact the author or if he/she didn't reply, you'd have to go through the script and fix it up yourself. But a better option might be to try an alternative script in the tcl archive.
