Is that the real error?  Here's what I see in the code:

    progerr("Swish-e database error.  Unknown property type accessing property '%s'", propname);
    progwarn("Invalid property type for property '%s'\n", meta_entry->metaName );


Anyway, that would be a problem.  Can you provide the pages and a simple
config so I can reproduce the problem?

That shouldn't be a problem.

You mean so it doesn't show the doc path if there's no title?  Swish-e
does that by default -- there's a compile time config.h setting
USE_DOCPATH_AS_TITLE that can change that behavior, but it would be hard
to click on the link if it was blank.
