Not knowing SharpReader, does this indicate that
a) it couldn't fetch the RSS file from the webserver, e.g. because
   you fed it the wrong URL or the file was unreadable, e.g. due to
   permissions; or
b) the content of the file is not valid RSS/RDF/XML data ?

Well, that figures - bbgen's RSS/RDF code is based entirely on
Jeff Stoner's bb_content-feed script. I know zilch about RSS/RDF
format, so I just transformed Jeff's shell-code into C.

The only testing I've done is to use the RSS/RDF files generated by
bbgen in a Mozilla sidebar - and that worked fine, last I tried it.
