Hi Nick, That did the trick, thanks, my bad for not reading the docs properly I suppose.
By the way I'd like to take you up on your offer of sharing the Freemap code, both to study how someone has made lots of interesting changes to Mapnik and because I'd like to do an overlay with the photographs in OpenLayers. If you have it somewhere for me to download, or could email it to this address, that would be great.
