    Try

    (setq ss (ssget "x" (list (cons 0 ob))))

    When using CONS, do not QUOTE the list

    It is an easy mistake to make. You can't quote the filter list unless you
    want it to be taken literally, for instance (setq ss (ssget "x" '((0 .
    "POINT")))). If there's anything in the list that needs to be evaluated,
    such as a cons or a variable name, then you have to do it as Jason showed.
