Wow!  This is odd.....

After running the build in -debug, there weren't any good clues as to
the cause or where to start looking.
I began to open up the offending xml files one by one and copy over the
entire document with one that I knew had been transformed without issue.
Then re-ran the build.  After doing this, each time the build would go a
little further down the list of source files to be transformed.

I did this over and over for about 6 files, then decided to change my
tactic, I began moving the files out of the project and re-running the
build.  Same results as before, I would get a little farther.

Then, (and here's the really odd part) I decided to just re-run the
build (without changing or moving anything).....IT WORKED!!!   I get a
little farther each time, as if the offending file was fixed........how
strange is that?
