Yep the conf file was in dos format but converting failed for me so I 
transfered all the variables into the main script and it worked.

The issue with the black tiles appears to be inkscape, my problem came 
from my debian server (which is becoming the bain of my life) and it run 
inkscape version 0.41.1 (Nov 30 2005), (yep thats the date and coming 
from fedora why do people even consider debian). Sadly my lack of 
knowledge of how to get amd64 debian to point to testing and the lack of 
delivery of etch (due December) means I cannot confirm that this is the 
root of the issue but every other system that I have tried has produced 
no black tiles.
