David,

finally I solved my problem with the location of the locationmap.
I had something like this in my locationmap.xml:

    <match pattern="pdf.transform.*.*">
      <select>
      <location src="{properties:skins-dir}/myskin/xslt/fo/{1}-to-{2}.xsl"/>
      </select>
    </match>

but had to remove the <select> to get it working since otherwise
I get a java exception in my locationmap.log which is not very helpful
to find the problem...

Thank you very much since you pushed me in the right direction.

Thomas
