Hi Bram, I haven't seen this error before. At a guess I'd say it looks 
like a permissions or disk full issue. Given that HTML seems to work I'd 
lean towards the HTML build filling up disk space.

Publican should be checking that the directory creation works before it 
tries running XSLT. I've created a bug to track this 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736189

Cheers, Jeff.
