Hi Matthew, looking at your diff, I don't see what could have caused the problem. One recommendation I have for you is to keep your customizations separately from the source, e.g. the patch to the handle server, to the sitemaps, to the messages.xml file, the whole theme folder. That will enable you to find which modification causes the problem by applying them in turn on top of the clean source (which you should first check that it compiles and runs without modifications). The first thing I'd try is to leave out the modifications to the .java files - those are the prime suspects, because changes to theme, messages and sitemaps shouldn't cause such an error. Did you just replace the new .java files with your old customized ones (that could be the source of the problem) or did you make a diff of the old original and modification and then apply the patch on top of the new one? Another recommendation I have is to try your luck with DSpace 3.0, which was just released. To upgrade, you only need to run both database upgrade scripts and pay attention to any changes in the configuration files. Also briefly look at the Upgrading chapters if there are any other steps. Note that in 3.0, most paths have changed slightly, so you may have to edit paths in your patch files. Sorry I couldn't give more immediate help.
