First: Can you please attach the file instead of quoting it inline? It
would really, really help to decrease the necessary work for me.

Second: Manpages are of <refentry> root element. But your book doesn't
contain any refentry element. For an example of a manpage written in
bocbook XML
see /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/examples/foo.1.example_manpage.xml.gz.

So to my knowledge, you/docbook2x cannot produce any manpage from the
file you gave. You probably need to adjust the units.xml creation from
the texinfo file to create a manpage source.
