validation - 59 errors OPF file

I must be missing a checkbox or something, because this is happening with every bloody book I've tried to export. I'd very much appreciate anyone's help, as I'm ready to smash something.

I'm using InDesign CS5 and am exporting a book as epub. I unzip and open the content.opf, and change the date. The only other change I make is to substitute the ISBN for the unique identifier. that's it. And when I go to validate, I get this message:

WARNING: dancedance.epub: item (OEBPS/._copyright.xhtml) exists in the zip file, but is not declared in the OPF file
WARNING: dancedance.epub: item (OEBPS/._2 - ch 2.xhtml) exists in the zip file, but is not declared in the OPF file


...59 different times.

It's like my OPF file acknowledges they're in the epub, but refuses to correctly 'see' them. What have I done wrong?


This is part of my OPF:
