Nope.  I tried you files. Same result.  Among the things I noticed: No
category file seems to be written, the program just exits silently if
you don't specify a log file.  For this particular file, there seems to
be alot of misplaced area attribute markers (not unusual with these darn
non-topological spatial graphics files...) -- apparently a few islands
too.

This is a very new module, so I'm sure David will be working on it
more...  The conversion of these graphics type files to arc-node is hard
to do well, while the reverse is easier.
