[Xastir] SDTS file errors, part 2

[Josh Keller]

Did this problem ever get resolved, I can't find any solution looking
through my archives from the list. I just started working with the SDTS
files direct from the USGS and I'm having the same problem. The 1:2m maps
work fine, but have no useful detail, however the 1:24k maps do not work and
I get messages in the terminal just like listed below. If anyone could help
that would be great.

Thanks,
Josh

OK, I went back and tried again.  This time I made sure I had the 
00MASTERDD_LRG extracted in the directory with the files from the 1:24k 
hypsography tarball.  Still no joy.  When I add new maps and go to the 
map chooser, there's no files listed under the directory and nothing 
displays when I choose the directory.  I get these errors when I index:

ERROR 1: Can't find IREF module in transfer

I get similar errors when I do the same thing for 1:100k data (using 
00MASTERDD_100K.SDTS.tar.gz).

Any clues?
