I've seen this problem a couple of times. Am I missing something obvious?

1. Download something from Many Books in .lrf format e.g Ambrose Bierce's excellent short story collection "Can Such Things Be?"

http://manybooks.net/titles/bierceametext03canbe10.html

2. Import the .lrf into the Sony Reader for my PRS 500, and it shows up with a mangled title - just the filename "Can_Such_Things_Be" and no author info.

3. When I check the metadata with editlrfmeta it looks fine!

C:\editlrfmeta Can_Such_Things_Be.lrf

title: Can Such Things Be?
author: Ambrose Bierce
bookid: wdt7JceAGRHQuy6B
publisher: manybooks.net
description: This book was generated by a preliminary version of makelrf.

What am I doing wrong?
