Currently, on my Fedora 17 system, the following occurs when you try to
build the docs:
{{{
pdflatex failed
users_guide.tex:1030: Undefined control sequence \Documents.
users_guide.tex:1030: leading text: }

}}}
This is easily fixed like so:
DBLATEX_OPTS="-P 'filename.as.url=0'" make
makes it work.
see http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/sec-param-value.html and
http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/filename.as.url.html for an
explanation; if you leave it as url style, dblatex leaves \ , as in
"C:\Documents And Settings", in there literally, and I didn't want to hack
dblatex, and this fixes the problem.
No idea where to put this in the makefiles or whatever to solve it for
real, sorry.
It may be the case, probably *is* the case in fact, that a newer dblatex
fixes this, but I doubt very much that y'all rely on this feature anyways,
and not building on the latest Fedora is kind of unfortunate.
