I have Facebook like button on my page which works fine.
But when I call the FB.ui method above from my JavaScript source, the Facebook dialog pops up but displays this error message:
**An error occurred. Please try again later.**
This has happened repeatedly for two days since I started trying to implement it.
Not a very helpful error message.
Any idea what might cause it or how to narrow down the problem?

As you see, you're using deprecated stuff.
That it's deprecated doesn't matter, the issue is that you don't have permission to perform the action. Make sure your FB.login call requests publish_stream and it'll be fine.
