These are the same filenames that another users is reporting
problems with.  The ones I downloaded from the other user appear to
have Mac line-ends.  I converted my copies to Unix line-ends.  Both
versions display fine here on Xastir, and I don't get those messages.

Try updating to the latest CVS and see if that problem goes away.  I
fixed another small thing w.r.t. DOS/Windows maps recently (a few
days ago).

No.  I have the database here, and I don't get that message.  I
suspect that xastir-fixcfg.sh didn't get run, or was run while
Xastir was still up?

Also check your permissions on files/directories in your ~/.xastir
directory.
