Ok, I'll work at re-packing the RAR file, and sort myself out.

I am building this file, but at the moment I'm not using maven.  It
might be in the cards in the near future, though, so I'll keep that in
mind.  However, I should be able to restructure the archives to the
way they are supposed to be.

Thanks heaps for the help,
Ed
