I have not been able to reproduce the problem. However, now that I 
look at your code again I may see the problem.

I think there may be something going on with the URL you're using to 
load the DTD. Try "/usr/lib/openoffice/share/dtd/officedocument/1_0/" 
instead (note the trailing slash; and, if that doesn't work, try 
"/usr/lib/openoffice/share/dtd/officedocument/1_0/content.xml".
