Thanks for the work on this Noah and the walk through showing all the
commands. 

I do find the one reprinted above fails here and produces a zero
length subversion.texi.  I ran it through `tee' like this 
`2>&1|tee texi.log'

It appears somewhere up the chain I've done something wrong.  The
first few lines of texi.log:

   could not find ParserDetails.ini in
   /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/XML/SAX
   docbook2texi://address@hidden'svn']: no description for directory entry

   docbook2texi://address@hidden'svn.tour.cycle.examine.status']/sidebar:
   section is too deep
   [...] hundreds more lines about `too deep'

Apparently I may be missing some perl tool that was expected..?

I notice the tool I have from installing docbook2X are named slightly
different from yours... maybe that means they are different in some
way? 

Mine actually installs as `docbook2texi.pl' so as not to clobber tools
with similar names from an earlier sgml package with similar named
tools. (I don't have that installed)

I doubt texi.log will be very usefull but maybe the book.xml that came
from the first cmds will be.  At any rate I've posted them both here:
 www.jtan.com/~reader/svn_wrk

In case they might be.
