Info(prcgen): Added metadata Start reading "1748" "? In my opf file there's no "metadata" identified as "Start". What's that about? And where is line "1748" located. It's not in the (book content) filename.html file or in the (Kindlegen generated) filename.mobi file as viewed in KindlePreview, so where is it?
Regarding the 1748: that is more than likely the position offset (in bytes) of the binary mobi file that Kindlegen is choosing for the start point. Which in your case is the Acknowledgments page. Not sure why it's choosing that point.

This should be in the guide of the opf:
<reference title="Start" type="text" href="filename.html#start" />

...and this should be in the html:
<a id="start" />

Note the "space" before the "/>". In the first post, you specified this: <a name="start"/>.
That may have just been a typo, but if the html document is declared as "XHTML 1.0 Strict" in the DOCTYPE declaration... that space is really important. You also want to use id="start" in the html anchor point instead of name="start".
