Randy, The first message indicates that there are some fields of a type that cannot be translated to shapefiles directly. With -skipfailures they should be just skipped. The second message is caused when an S-57 layer has a mixture of geometry types. Shapefiles can only have one geometry type (ie. line or point) per layer. The traditional way to address this is to do two translations for layers with a mixture of geometries, one for each geometry type. So you command is reasonable, but to translate S-57 the best that is possible you will likely need to do the translation one layer at a time,and establish what geometry types each has. Rather tedious!
