Thanks very much for trying, here are my checksums of both the 
xslthl-config.xml I've tried:

md5sum 
/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/highlighting/xslthl-config.xml
c64c7a25b6c62422f6b4653f4f6174c2 
/www/notlive/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.74.3-pre/highlighting/xslthl-config.xml

md5sum /www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml
c64c7a25b6c62422f6b4653f4f6174c2 
/www/notlive/docbook/xslthldamnit/highlighters/xslthl-config.xml

OK I've never used ANT before, I'll look into how to try yours out.

Actually, can you try one more thing for me- have you tried doing yours 
from the command line instead of ANT? (Or do you mean you just tried 
that already).

If you get yours to run from command line then I give up too! thanks Juri
