Hi Johan,

I also post our conversation to the list because the mailing list is 
archived regularly and other users can search the archive to get some 
useful information.

Again,  you have to change all "Homo Sapiens" to "Homo sapiens", including
the one you used in ABPkgBuilder.

I believe "Homo sapiens" is the correct and exact organism name for human
(according to NCBI).  Please be careful about the spelling.

HTH,
Ting-Yuan
