Those look right (modulo the line breaks that must be an artifact of how
you pasted them into your mail).

There could be something earlier in the file that is confusing xastir and 
causing it not to find things later in the file.  Try to determine if the
addresses you *can* find are earlier in the EN.dat file than those that you 
can't --- that would help narrow down the spot where the code is getting
confused.
