Possibly a difference with the option to Babel. If you have BBEdit, you 
might want to perform a "diff" on the two preambles, to see all 
differences, this might highlight the problem (is diff also built into 
TextWrangler?). Without actually seeing any preamble, the above is a 
mere educated guess, hope it helps.
