ntext is a valid datatype for the OUTPUT variable of a stored procedure.
This is not the problem. Your error appears here:
....
-- Part Output
print @onelevel

if (@return is NULL)
exec(@return+@onelevel)
else
exec(@return+'*;*'+@onelevel)
....
because if @return is Null then you do a
exec('1.00000*-*691*-*1684*-*3*-*0*-**-*0*-*2005-09-22T00:43:00*-*277')
and what should this be?
EXEC starts another stored proc, from there you get your error message. And
so it is an error in line 1.
