The most likely explanation is that you haven't specified a raises
clause in the operation declaration. The IDL should look like

interface MyInterface {
  ProductDetail getProductDetail(OID the_id) raises (cdv.NotFound);
};

If you don't have the raises clause, then omniORB will convert
NotFound exceptions into UNKNOWN exceptions.

If you _have_ specified a raises clause, then it's probably an
omniORBpy bug. If so, please send the complete IDL you are using, as
well as the client and server code.

Cheers,

Duncan.
