Rene,

I'm generating the reports, but they are empty. This on Ubuntu Linux, by 
the way.

Downloading the .zip files from the ftp site seems to be working OK, but 
after the run the "merged" directory is empty. Presumably that's the 
source of the report content, so it isn't unexpected that the reports 
themselves are empty. The "processed" directory has the .xml files for 
the two current runners, so I'm guessing the process is working up to 
the point of the merge.

It would help me if you would run the release branch reports once on 
your machine, and then send me the script you used, the starting 
directory structure you ran it in, and tell me the point in the 
directory structure you ran the script from.

Thanks,
