This question would have been better on the boost-docs list, but that 
asside, I've seen similar messages when my "using boostbook" paths were 
wrong and the XSL translators couldn't be found (downloading the online 
versions appears not to ever work which is why you get that error message, 
maybe they keep changing the URL?).  So... double check your paths, make 
sure they're in the right order, and maybe they have to absolute paths?
