OK, I've looked at the file, the error messages you get when loading
it, and the code.

Firstly, the error message is wrong -- it's the attribute type that is
unrecognised, not the name.  I've corrected that.

The problem is the appearance in the file of elements like:

    <property name="octaveoffset" Int="0"/>

This should be int="0", with lower-case "i".  The code that writes out
the file is handling it incorrectly, almost certainly because of
Turkish localisation (the i vs ı problem).

I've committed a fix that makes the broken file loadable on my system,
in SVN trunk revision 9741.  This is not a proper fix for the export
problem, however -- I'll look at that again, but I haven't got enough
time just now.
