I *think* all you would need to do is make your Property be uppercase so it is a Public Property instead of a Private Property. Or, to put another way, all uppercase increases the scope of your variables.
Property="DATABASENAME" And then update any other place that uses this same Property name to also be all uppercase. Here's more info from the web. Property Names Try using an all-uppercase directory id. It's a requirement to pass the selection you make in the UI to the execute sequence. Uppercase property names indicate that the property is public. For more information, see this MSDN article.
