Just so you know, I did some tinkering with my copy of gmetad, notably 
adding some debugging output (nothing fancy, just there to help me figure 
out where the damn thing is hanging).  Example:  My line 109 is:
"        {"

:)

It looks like you might have to do the same to get to the bottom of this. 
I don't see any warnings when I run gmetad.

Nope, I gave you all my magic-bullet fixes.  Unless someone else has 
something (Matt?  any ideas?), I think it's time to crank up your favorite 
editor and start the perl hacking...

I dunno if this will make you feel better, but as I said earlier, gmetad 
didn't just work for me, either.  Heck, it wouldn't even *BUILD* for me 
without me propping up the build process in a few places.  :)
