Icecast - Dec 2004 - XML parsing error I can't find

Hello,
I'm running Debian/Linux and installed the Debian package of Icecast.
It's 2.2.0 one.
I got a parsing error I can't detect.
When launching Icecast :
[...]
Starting icecast2: Starting icecast2
Detaching from the console
I/O warning : failed to load external entity
"/etc/icecast2/icecast.xml"
FATAL: error parsing config file (/etc/icecast2/icecast.xml)
XML config parsing error
[...]

- Permission on /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml is "all can read"
- error.log does not tell me nothing (obviuos: the deamon is not
launched)
- on Debian, the owner is changed by the rc script (it overrides the
changeowner directive in icecast.xml)

Would you help me to find it out?
I paste you the conf file (passwords are fake :-) )...

Hi:

Can't see any problems.  The only thing I can think of is maybe your actual 
config file has some funky passwords in it that the XML parser doesn't 
like.  Have you tried parsing the file exactly as you sent it to us?

Geoff.

more specifically, do your passwords contain any of "&><" ?
if so, you will need to mask them as "&amp;", "&gt;"
or "&lt;"...
