hey brian, nice to hear from you too and also thanks for picking up on this :-) according to xmlwf the modified.mzXML is valid. i uploaded both, original.mzXML and modified.mzXML to ftp.systemsbiology.net/incoming. it would be great if you guys could spare some time to help me with this as i am completely clueless about what i am doing wrong.
