The syntax you show for the file matches mine.

Im guessing that my issue is coming from the javaprotobuffer
implementation that I am using. I am using this custom one that
outputs to JavaME  http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-javame/

To my knowledge it was just a wrapper around protocol buffers so I
assumed i had all the same functionality. I guess I dont, i'll have to
try to post on their support since it appears its not a general
protocol buffers issue

Thank you for your help!
