I am trying to make a Plug-In that clears or improves a pilot's legal standing with a specific government (for a fee, of course, or else it would be cheating). I have tried this in two different ways: setting the CompGovt and CompReward fields, or by setting the PayVal field (as per the EVO Bible)
if you want it to be done for a fee and w/o any mission, it'd probably be easier to do it as an outfit, but that much is up to you. it can be done as a mission, but with different effects, which, i believe, you are discovering

However, whichever I choose the result I get is rather weird. All the systems reflect an improvement in legal standing but the government's ships still try to blow the cr*p out of the pilot when they enter one of that govt's systems.
i can come up with a few possible answers here:
1. if you're in a ship with an inherent government, any enemy of that government will attack you regardless of legal status (in ev i loved rebel ships, but i could be second only to god with the feds and they'd still attack me)
2. if a mission makes your record better with one government, it will also make your record better with all that government's allies and worse with all of its enemies. i doubt that's the probelm in this case, if it makes your reward better with the government that's attacking you, but it's a possibility
3. as was mentioned before, check the government's crime tolerance. their planets may be more willing to forgive than their ships, so the map could show blue while the ships would still attack you
hope this helps in some way. ciao
