Arabic mobi conversion problems

Hi everybody
I am trying to use calibre to convert an Arabic text in html into mobi format.
The conversion works perfectly for ebook format BUT the mobi conversion results in the sentences being shown backwards. Each word is correctly written, but the words appear left-to-right, not right-to-left.
The large green text in the pictures below shows what I mean.
The text in calibre.jpg reads correctly (alf layla wa-layla)
The text in kindle.jpt reads backwards (wa-layla layla alf) !!!
(this is the introduction to the 1001 nights)
Does anyone have any suggestions for solving this problem?
Thanks
