Hello Ed, thank you very much - it's working like a charm. Anyway in the meantime I found an alternative: OSM relation analyzer at http://ra.osmsurround.org. The service is able to output gpx file containing ways belonging to a relation, this can be later converted to polygon using gpx2poly.pl script. Anyway, I like your simple one-step solution because it's faster and does not require internet connection.
