trouble with nested try except in python 3.3

The problem I'm having is that if a exception is thrown for the first try, it seems to treat it as if all try statements under the except block also returned a exception.

if player.ClassName[0] != 'Undetermined':
    if (player.ClassName[1] != 'Undetermined') and (player.ClassName[2] != 'Undetermined'):
        for i in player.Abilities:
            try:
                OVERLIST[player.ClassName[0]][player.ClassName[1]][player.ClassName[2]]['Abilities'][i.name].process_ability(i)
            except:
                try: 
                    OVERLIST[player.ClassName[0]][player.ClassName[1]]['Abilities'][i.name].process_ability(i)
                except:
                    try:
                        OVERLIST[player.ClassName[0]]['Abilities'][i.name].process_ability(i)
                    except:
                        print("Ability: "+i.name+" not found in ability index for "+player.ClassName[0]+"/"+player.ClassName[1]+"/"+player.ClassName[2])
                        print("\tUsed by: "+player.name+"\t")
    elif player.ClassName[1] != 'Undetermined':
        for i in player.Abilities:
            try:
                OVERLIST[player.ClassName[0]][player.ClassName][i.name].process_ability(i)
            except:
                try:
                    OVERLIST[player.ClassName[0]]['Abilities'][i.name].process_ability(i)
                except:
                    print("Ability: "+i.name+" not found in ability index for "+player.ClassName[0]+"/"+player.ClassName[1])
                    print("\tUsed by: "+player.name+"\t")  
    else:
        for i in player.Abilities:
            try:
                OVERLIST[player.ClassName[0]]['Abilities'][i.name].process_ability(i)
            except:
                print("Ability: "+i.name+" not found in ability index for "+player.ClassName[0])
                print("\tUsed by: "+player.name+"\t")     

CONTEXT: This is for a program that reads combat logs created by a game.

player is a Player object that contains a list called Abilities holding all the abilities used by said player, and another list ClassName of size 3 where ClassName[0] is the string name of the player's base class, ClassName[1] is the player's subclass and ClassName[2] is the player's spec (basically subclass of subclass)

OVERLIST is a nested dictionary where the keys are names of the base classes and the values are a dictionary containing keys for the subclasses plus a key called "Abilities" with a value of a dictionary containing the abilities specific to that class. Each subclass key has a value of a dictionary with key's for each 'spec' of the subclass plus a "Abilities" key with associated dictionary of abilities for said subclass. Each spec key is the same way with it's own 'Abilities' key with associated dictionary of abilities for the spec key.
