In looking at the .pcb file generated by gsch2pcb I note that there are actually three different PCB() lines with the element information scattered between them. Which seems very odd indeed and I can understand why PCB would puke on the second one.You may want to run gsch2pcb with the -v option and see if any of the debug messages are helpfull. If you are using standard gschem parts (or are using embedded parts) you may want to post your schematic. (* jcl *)
I thought that perhaps the problem was related to the m4 parts library. So I carefully replaced all of the footprints with file elements from your collection. I have even gone so far as to rename the m4 directory to keep it from being searched at all. It doesn't help. The only footprint that I had to create was for a variable resistor. (Light bulb goes on) Dope slap time for me. While writing this it suddenly occurred to me that I am getting 2 extra "PCB" lines and I have two instances of this variable resistor. I thought that I had carefully followed the procedure for creating new footprints but I must have missed something as it looks like a regular schematic. gsch2pcb is obviously just inserting the whole file. A quick edit corrects this problem. This schematic/pcb is actually just a diversion from the project I had been working on. It was simple and looked like a better way to break into learning the tools. I looked at the footprints I created for that project and not one of them has this problem. Sigh.
