[BioC] question about biomaRt problem

Hello,
when I use the biomaRt package from R/bioconductor,
there appears a problem:
library("biomaRt")
ensembl=useMart("ensembl",dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl")
refseqinds=c("NM_005359","NM_000546")
ipro=getBM(attributes=c("refseq_dna","interpro","interpro_description"),filters="refseq_dna",values=refseqinds,mart=ensembl)

ipro
[1] refseq_dna interpro interpro_description <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)

Can anyone tell me what's the problem? Are there any other way to retrieve the gene name from refseq gene ID?
