NullPointerException (can't harvest)

In attempting to recreate this issue:
http://code.google.com/p/xcmetadataservicestoolkit/issues/detail?id=316

The first file (bib2marcxml-roman.xml) loaded OK, but when I went to harvest, I 
got the following exception:

ax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NullPointerException

Chris, if you're able to fix this and get it running - could you either capture 
2 harvest out files so we can import them into the mst or let John know when an 
oai-toolkit is available to he can capture them to a file?

This would be a 2-phased load/harvest, load/harvest since it has to do with 
updates.
