Is this the URL you are giving the IDV?

The file on disk is a TDS configuration catalog and contains information so the server knows where to find the data it serves. Client applications don't need and may not understand this information.  The view of the catalog through the above URL should return a catalog without the configuration information.

Did you point the IDV to the local catalog file? If so, try pointing it at the catalog URL.

Did you attach the local file to your email or the version grabbed from the URL?
