Ping,

I just downloaded OMSSA 2.1.4 and tried the direct pep.xml export 
myself.  I do see a problem with the resulting pep.xml file that the 
"-op" option generates that's causing the problem you're seeing.

The key error message in your output is this:
WARNING: No decoys with label DECOY were found in this dataset.

Looking at the generated pep.xml files, OMSSA seems to be placing some 
number in the protein="" attribute of each search_hit element.  Whereas 
PeptideProphet expects this protein attribute to contain some protein 
identifier that includes the DECOY string for those decoy matches.  In 
the converters we use, the value of the protein attribute is the first 
word of the protein definition line.

As for a fix, we need someone at NCBI to address this and hopefully 
someone here will contact them about this.  For you in the short term, 
you're going to need a developer to modify you pep.xml files to replace 
the value in the "protein" attribute with the first word from the 
"protein_descr" attribute of each search_hit entry.
