Actually, scratch that. My last patch *did* fix the problem. It looks
like you're using version 1.1.0. You should be using version 1.1.1-dev
(which will become version 1.1.1 when I get around to doing a release).

You can confirm the version you are using by running the command 
`XML2AFP.sh -v` (unix) or `XML2AFP.bat -v` (windows)

It should print out something like:

   XML2AFP 1.1.1-dev
