I tried some more experiments. I used the BaseX GUI as follows:
1. Created a new database and used the GUI to select the catalog file directly. 2. Used the add function from the New Database dialog to load a directory, selecting all the .xml, .dita, and .ditamap files. All the DITA files were skipped. I did the same test using 8.4.1 under OS X but against the same source files and catalog and it worked fine. So this seems to be a general issue with catalog resolution under Windows.
