Oh... Yeah... I should pay more attention to the actual message:

This was not a "field not found" message, I fixed the wrong thing.. oops. Good catch Carlos.

The cell_id column is of the integer type ? or character varying type ?
It must be integer to be able to
compare.

This: "gml_featureid" "cell_id"

Seems to be the culprit. I'm not sure what that does, if you dont need
it, delete it.

If you do need it, then I'd guess changing your sql to this would help:


DATA "the_geom FROM (select cell_id, the_geom from forest_plot_layer) as
subq"

... unrelated, I see you dont have "using unique" on your DATA line... I
believe it'll speed things up if you use it. (although I have never
actually tested the claim).
