[gdal-dev] help needed with pygdaltools library, documentation sparse

[Scott]

-nln is being ignored because the data layer you're -updating -appending 
to exists. You can't rename a layer if it has a name. Remove -nln option

Next you are trying to write a collection as a linestring. Use 
-explodecollections (if exists in your install) and/or use -nlt 
PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Try not to use -skipfailures
