HI John,

I believe this issue was addressed in a more recent version of xlog.  I 
recommend trying version 2.0.5 or 2.0.6beta.  I've done the same thing, 
used xlog without the rig, with both of those versions, and I didn't 
notice the issue you mentioned.

Please try it and let us know the result.

Thanks, and 73,

Andy
