Wolfgang,

That explains the same problem I was having, had me stumped too!
Using 2.4.1 I was re-inserting some metadata produced by the xml show feature
and got the same error message. See ticket #150 on the Geonetwork trac
site http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki, SimonP is on the case.

  My bad. I referenced a CSW name space that is not part of ISO 19115 (leftover from my CSW insert transaction xsd).

    I am stumped by a "Root element not set" error when importing my MEF files through the metadata insert form, the batch metadata upload form, and when submitting the MEF file to /srv/en/xml.metadata.insert (GeoNetwork 2.4.1). The  metadat.xml is ISO 19139 schema valid and I can't see anything wrong with my info.xml. 

    What am I missing? 

    Following is the error for my multipart/form-data POST to /srv/en/xml.metadata.insert. I ahve attached an example MEF
