I also think your foaf (assuming
http://dougal.gunters.org/dougal.about.xml is yours) has errors see

http://jibbering.com/foaf/foaf-errors.1

which says:
/cygdrive/f/jim/foaf/scripts/rdfdump: Warning - URI
http://dougal.gunters.org/dougal.about.xml:19 - element Description found
inside property element with rdf:resource, skipping.
(repeated many times)

They're only warnings here, but perhaps the perl parser has raised those
to be an error.

The problem is here:
<foaf:mbox
rdf:resource="mailto:dougal at g...">mailto:dougal at g...</foaf:
mbox>

the email address shouldn't be repeated as a literal, it should just be:
<foaf:mbox rdf:resource="mailto:dougal at g..."/>

Jim.
