I was able to reproduce the error on a SuSE 11 box. The lxml support for 
the Docbook Tool needed a few fixes, I uploaded 2 commits to the 
"new_doc_toolchain" branch. Please update and try again...

While doing some further testing, I discovered that "jw" can render PDF 
from Docbook files, but it doesn't cope with XML input (only SGML) in 
all cases. That's why I removed it from the list of PDF renderers for 
the toolchain, so only fop and xep are left now.

Make sure that you have "fop" and one of the XML Python bindings 
installed (lxml or libxml2)...the latter is to be preferred because it 
is much faster, but both should work fine now.

Best regards,

Dirk
