Thanks Steven for the reply. While this was not the final answer to the
problem (as it was one problem) it did help lead to the solution which was
as Steven stated ..... and a missing nvp around the ni.a variable.
Note the std::pair<> code was not necessary and was removed.
below is working version and xml file for those who may experience this in
the future.
