Are you sure that this data.gramps file is actually the XML data file?
If you say:
   $ zless /home/username/lithgow-schmidt/data.gramps
does it look sane?

If this is actually grdb file (even though called data.gramps) then it
would explain the problem. If it is XML data, send it to me (privately,
not to the list) and I'll take a look.
