This is apparently a common error, as I struggled over the same thing about
a week ago while learning Motif.  Turns out that the widget ID you get from
the CreateScrolledWindow convenience function is the inner child -- but
what you want to work with is the parent.  Just replace viewport[..] with
XtParent(viewport[..]) and so forth.
