Thanks to John and the others who replied.
This fixed one part of my problem.

Hopefully this message in the archives will help someone else too.
I had to also:

run 'fop.sh -d -xsl xsl/fo/local-chunk.xsl -xml file.xml -pdf output.pdf'

  This will check the validity of your document against the dtd
  specified in the DOCTYPE line in the top of the xml file.

my 'xsl/fo/local-chunk.xsl' looks like:
    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common";
                version="1.0"
                exclude-result-prefixes="exsl">
    <xsl:import href="docbook.xsl"/>
    <!-- EarthLink local customizations! -->
    <xsl:param name="draft.mode" select="no"/>
    <xsl:param name="fop.extensions" select="1"/>
    </xsl:stylesheet>

This turns off draft mode, and the fop.extensions makes those 'relative
align' and 'baseline' noises go away.

After I made sure my XML was 100% valid, and used that local
customization stuff, it produced a VERY nice PDF :-)

Thank you!
