ForwardAction not picking up Tiles defs?

[Ruth, Brice]

I'm following the instructions provided here: 
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/building_view.html (section 
3.4.3) for incorporating tiles definitions in struts-config.xml, and 
when the ActionServlet receives a request for an action who's parameter 
is a tile definition name (such as .baseLayout), I get the following 
exception:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Path .baseLayout does not start with a 
"/" character

My action is defined like so:

       <action
           path="/US/tilestest"
           type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
           parameter=".baseLayout"/>
And I've defined the plug-in for the Tiles requestor.

 <plug-in
   className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">
   <set-property
       property="definitions-config"
       value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml"/>
 </plug-in>
My tiles-defs.xml has one simple entry:

   <definition name=".baseLayout" path="/common/layouts/baseLayout.jsp"/>

within the <tiles-definitions> node.

Any ideas? Thanks!
