Actually this is the TOC-piece of .tex code around line 1622. The offending line is way down (ca. 8152) at the actual chapter heading and it looks like this: {\def\Element% {0:451}\def\ProcessingMode% {title-sosofo-mode}}\#if\endNode{}\def\HeadingText{% 10.7. \if}% \endHeadPar{}\endSeq{}\Node% and I think it is the fourth line that causes the problem for the # sign is stripped and the title is converted to a tex conditional - \if - which isn't terminated, but I'm not so sure. The thing is, the docbook2tex converts the .tmpl file to .tex file ok but db2pdf chokes. What docbook-utils are you using? Mine are version 0.6.14-1 of debian unstable.
