PROBLEM:Validation fails because  of the two following Errors:
1. ERROR: /Volumes/Data Partition TBD/Ellen_eBooks/The Moon QXP version/The 
Moon Has Fallen_2.epub/OEBPS/content.opf(2): value of attribute 
"unique-identifier" is invalid; must be an XML name without colons
the offending code is:
<package xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" version="2.0" 
unique-identifier="978-0-9852681-0-7"> (where the unique-identifier is my ISBN 
number.)

2.ERROR: /Volumes/Data Partition TBD/Ellen_eBooks/The Moon QXP version/The Moon 
Has Fallen_2.epub/OEBPS/content.opf: unique-identifier attribute in package 
element must reference an existing identifier element id
The offending code is:
<dc:identifier id="bookid" opf:scheme="ISBN">978-0-9852681-0-7</dc:identifier>

I came across an excellent clue that pointed to "opf.scheme=" as being the 
culprit. When I changed that bit of code as follows"
From <dc:identifier id="bookid" opf:scheme="ISBN"> 
978-0-9852681-0-7</dc:identifier>
to this
<dc:identifier id="bookid">urn:isbn:978-0-9852681-0-7</dc:identifier>
it validated properly with no error or warning messages.

gosius, the problem in your initial post is that the unique-identifier 
attribute on the root element takes an IDREF, not the actual identifier value. 
This has nothing to do with opf:scheme being present or not.

A valid example is available at

Thank you - I appreciate your response. After much detective work, I found
the only thing that worked for me was:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<package version="2.0" unique-identifier="bookid" xmlns:dc="
http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf">
<metadata>
<dc:title>The Moon Has Farten!!</dc:title>
<dc:creator>Ellen Shire</dc:creator>
<dc:publisher>Ellen Shire</dc:publisher>
<dc:date>2012</dc:date>
<dc:language>en</dc:language>
<dc:identifier id="bookid">urn:isbn:978-0-9852681-0-7</dc:identifier>
<meta name="cover" content="imgcov" />
</metadata>
<manifest>
<item id="ncx" href="toc.ncx" media-type="application/x-dtbncx+xml" />
<item id="css" href="styles.css" media-type="text/css" />
<item id="pg001" href="page_001.xhtml" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" />
Notice the <dc:identifier form which includes "urn:isbn:---".
Thanks again

Hi there...
I tried to investigate a lot to find the reason for this error message. When I 
look in my toc.ncx and content.opf this identifier isn't there. I've attached 
my elements from toc.ncx, content.opf and the warning message from 
epub-checker. 

Can anyone help bringing me in the right direction. 

Error message from epub-checker:

gosius is right: the only combination that worked (for me) in getting rid of 
errors was unique-identifier="uid" and using <dc:identifier 
id="uid">urn:isbn:123-4-5678910-1-1</dc:identifier>

MAKING SURE THAT THE NCX FILE MIRRORS THIS EXACTLY:

<meta name="dtb:uid" content="urn:isbn:123-4-5678910-1-1" />

Otherwise if that's incorrect then the validator should not be taking the 
"urn:isbn:" part so literally from the OPF file.
