Odd. How again are you trying to accept the xml mapfile? What process is trying to read it. generate_image.py? Maybe try with nik2img.py? Nik2img.py has both a --dry-run mode and a --xml flag to output the XML after it has been run through Mapnik, that might give more clues. I rarely run anything on windows so I'm sorry I don't have more ideas. >> Another way to play around with connecting via mapnik is to try a >> python interpreter: >> >> $ python >>>>> from mapnik import PostGIS >>>>> PostGIS(dbname='gis',table='planet_osm_line') > > Tried this - got the following output. >>>> from mapnik import PostGIS >>>> PostGIS(dbname='gis',table='planet_osm_line') > <mapnik.Datasource object at 0x0057F230> > > Does this indicate a connection, an error, or something else? Yes, that indicates a correct connection and says to be that there is still some different in the way the XML is being understood. What happens if you put only: <Parameter name="dbname">gis</Parameter> <Parameter name="table">planet_osm_line</Parameter> ... in your XML? Maybe sure to test on a small subset (one layer) so you can be sure that Mapnik is not erroring on a different XML layer record which you have not fixed up.
