I don't know how a2x runs the commands but if it spawns them without a
shell then some initialization files may not be run.

In that case the XML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable may not be set
so xmllint won't find any catalog at all (according to xmllint doc),
whereas running it yourself from a command line will have it set since
its in a shell.

I had a similar problem with commands run from an IDE not picking up
environment variables.
