[eluser]InsiteFX[/eluser]
Why don't you just use this method?

Code:

// --------------------------------------------------------------------

    /**
     * Set Error Message
     *
     * Lets users set their own error messages on the fly.  Note:  The key
     * name has to match the  function name that it corresponds to.
     *
     * @access    public
     * @param    string
     * @param    string
     * @return    string
     */
    function set_message($lang, $val = '')
    {
        if ( ! is_array($lang))
        {
            $lang = array($lang => $val);
        }

        $this->_error_messages = array_merge($this->_error_messages, $lang);

        return $this;
    }
