Tiger Shapefile tiling problem

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Ahh you should have postted this error earlier or I missed it. This
nifty message is tell you that the files listed do not have the same DBF
attribute field definitions as the first file that was loaded. ALL the
files in the tileindex MUST have identical FIELD_NAMES, TYPES, and order
of fields.
