I have seen this when we started experimenting with importing data from our
existing system. In this case your friend is "xmllint". It's in the freeBSD
ports collection, and I'll leave it up to you to install it in the OS of your
choice. xmllint should give you enough info to find the offending character(s).
In our case the character that caused all the problem is \x94 which is a
typographic double quote. We had some data that was cut and pasted from an Adobe
Indesign file that had inch marks that looked okay in our existing database
system, and would display fine in our website, but caused a lot of grief when we
were importing into ofBiz for test purposes.

P.S. Yesterday I made my reservations for OSCON. Looking forward to meeting with
several of you ofBiz'ers!
