Dear Everybody,

"Yor PIX image has a version of unknown. This version of PDM

will only interoperate with versions taht start with 6.0 or 6.1. Please update your PIX image so that they are compatible"

You may update your PDM version to 2.11 to resovle these issues. I know the new version makes it a lot cleaner to work with.
