Well, first, this will only work on Customer invoices, not
Vendor Bills or Employee Expenses.   Second, this returns the
taxtable, not the NAME of the taxtable.  Third, you would need
to set up the column (which you dont show in this code snippet).

The "#[unknown]" probably means that it doesn't know how to
print out the reference to the taxtable.  Right now the
gncTaxTableGetName() isn't wrapped, so you wont be able to
use that API until the 2.2 swigification (which probably wraps
it by default).
