I'm afraid I'm not likely to be of help, since I don't use either
of those products, but this is where a tiny example is your best
friend.  By making a copy of your input file and condensing to
the bare minimum needed to produce the fault, you'll either find
the problem in the input file, or have a concrete example to
share with the list.
