So you start gift-add-collection.pl and it does only 90% of the work? The 
trouble is that gift-add-collection.pl creates an XML file. An XML file needs 
a closing tag. Without the closing tag you're lost. This is why the XML file 
is written out at the end. So, if things stop for some reason at 90%, then 
there are chances, that there is no url2fts.xml

(Hint for people who want to hack gift-add-collection.pre-pl: A more failsafe 
way of doing this would be to first create some gdbm database, and then use 
that data to create the XML file. Patches gladly accepted)

did you check if the /home/nvs/gift/test/index/url2fts.xml file exsists?
If it reads -1 characters, probably not.

I guess so. Could you clear the indexing data and do a

and send me (and anyone who wants it, Henning) the result (which will be too 
long for the mailing list)? Your bug report was already quite helpful, but I 
think I need more for better answers.
