Ahh, a light went on just after I sent the previous email! You are 
using RevDB. I wonder whether it is fixed to work with the current 
version of Valentina, which I presume you are trying to use. It used 
to require a custom version included in Rev distribution. Your setup 
will probably work fine if you access Valentina directly not through 
RevDB. The "version" test in the prev email will confirm it.
