Since there's been no reply, and for the benefit of anybody else reading this thread, I'll close this out by saying it appears the VFP XMLAdapter simply can't handle this particular schema but doesn't give any indication why not. I solved the problem by abandoning the XMLAdapter and writing code to parse the XML using the XMLDOM. While somewhat tedious and not particularly elegant, this is at least a working solution.
