 QGIS 1.4, Vista 32-bit.

 Please see here for the background to this problem:

 http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6123

 OGR layer converter - when used to convert an ESPG:27700 shapefile to KML
 errors of about 120 metres occur. The error is consistent with the layer
 converter not recognising the '+datum=OSGB36' parameter in the parameter
 string.

 In the attached zip: (1) 'Home.kml' a KML file for a line traced in Google
 Earth. (2) 'Home.shp', the result of loading the KML file into QGIS and
 saving it as a projected shape file. (3) 'homeconverted.kml', the result
 of using the layer converter to reconvert the the shape file to KML.

 I know that the shape file (2) is correct.

 Trying to make a GPX file from the shape file using the layer converter
 does not work.

 Regards,
 Nick.
