I'm having the same problem (see the thread "Capture template 'C':
nil"), also with an "item" template. I suspect there is a bug in that
specific case (since "entry" template works fine) where one must
specify the full path of the file.

The really surprising thing is that org actually finds the file (there
is text appended to it).
