Arggh, sorry for the noise.  I found the offeding line.

In hindsight, the error makes sense: the problem was a missing colon (:)
in one of the links (lots of C-c C-x C-n to find it).  Maybe it would
help to say a bit more, such as "no link type found" and maybe show the
rest of the contents of the link?  Or even a line number?
Something...  anything!  ;-)

thanks,
eric
