Edit: looks like if the library is modified in any way triggers the error.
Here is a script I created that transfers over 120 settings from Y4tS075 to Y4tS076. Everything except the paths. Have not figured that out yet but also thinks it might not be necessary.
120! Wow, someones been busy . I didn't even know there were so many settings.
Another stab in the dark - is the folder open in the truespace library view? Maybe there's some library command that can delete it.

gives each mesh an id number - worked without it but was not the correct way to do it
checks the yafaray version number by running yafaray to get the version before writing the xml file, removed the beta0.12 checkbox
defaults to a tga file extension if there is none
checks v1.1 for tga or exr file extensions
clean the UI
I have tried this on a couple of files and only problem I see is objects come out faceted instead of smooth. I load the object to update scene for yafaray ver 1.5 but the problem is still there?
Also getting this error on one of my older files. See image

Can you share the problem file?
That faceting is a problem. Blender seems to store the smoothing angle in the mesh. In truespace you might press the auto facet normals button, but it changes the normals instead of saving a smoothing value inside the mesh. So maybe I should add an option to apply smoothing to everything at render time with an angle from the normals smoothing from the Misc tab. It should probably have an angle of 30 degrees to match the default truespace auto facet normals.
I'm open to suggestions and I'll see what I can find out about how Blender handles the smoothing.

Yep, I was thinking there might be a better way, but it's a limitation of Yafaray to use smoothing instead of normals. I checked out Blender and if you set any smoothing on any of the faces then Yafaray sees the entire mesh as smooth with angle of 181 degrees. In each mesh there is an option for autosmooth angle. If it's active and smoothing is applied to any part of the mesh then the entire mesh will be smoothed with the autosmooth angle. So bottom line is it doesn't seem to work any better in Blender. The YafaRay4ts apply smoothing is equivalent to Blender auto smooth and you have to set smoothing on each object as needed.

Sure, attached is problem file. I have also included image textures.
I took you scene for a spin. I replaced your Y4tS061 panel for the just released one by Clinton. You can find the script in this thread that transfers the old values to the new panel.
I get the same error as you. Odd that it gets stuck on line 341 as that is just a default value.
Nevertheless since Clinton updated the YafaRay4tS project Y4tS070, all of the Yafaray Materials and Lights were changed as well. So I reapplied the new materials to your objects and it renders fine without errors. HTH
. I didn't even know there were so many settings.
