You are correct, it is not outputting HTML.
I haven't used these stylesheets, but
the "Making portait pages ..." messages indicates
it is outputting XSL-FO. Perhaps changing
the "/fo/" in the path to "/html/" would fix it,
but I don't know why the filename itself includes
"html" if it is putting out FO.
