when I had this problem some time ago I made this memo:

8<--------------------------------
+dblatex+ uses +xsltproc+ for preprocessing xml-files prior to tex
generation.  The main +dblatex+ python-script contains definition of
the
default location for finding the required catalog files:

        cat = os.environ.get("SGML_CATALOG_FILES")
        if cat:
                cat += ":/opt/local/etc/xml/catalog"
        else:
                cat = "/opt/local/etc/xml/catalog"
        os.environ["SGML_CATALOG_FILES"] = cat

If this is not set up correctly +xsltproc+ fetches the catalogs from
the
net which takes massive time.  _Solution_: if necessary, manually set
that variable in your shell resource file.  This prevents the annoying
network access.
8<--------------------------------

the path mentioned in the note is specific to MacOS, but that's
essentially the problem: dblatex does not find the `catalog' file
where it expects it locally and then tries to get it from the net.
