I think this might be related to ticket:199 - I had a shapefile named "phys_contours.merc.shp", and I refer to it in the datasource as "phys_contours.merc". This does not work, but if I rename them to "phys_contours-merc.shp" and "phys_contours-merc", it does. Is the ".merc" at the end being misinterpreted as a filename extension? I'm running Mapnik from trunk, I believe it's been approx. 1 month since I updated and recompiled. This stylesheet has worked in the past, btw - it's only since my last recompile that the buggy behavior has surfaced.
