Error calling transaction from a transaction

Question

Hi,
I have created a transaction to batch Measurement Point readings for the PM Module. The batch uses a query to determine the tags required to update and it calls the "MeasurementPointWrite" transaction that I downloaded from SAP. My problem is when I run the batch transaction it reports "TransactionLoadException: Unable to find transaction file specified"
Has anyone seen this issue?
The following shows the relevant log dump:
[DEBUG] [MPWriteCall]: Started action execution

For what it's worth, it appears to be a problem at the source.  I have the same problem with the same downloaded file.  Looking at the xml, there is an error in the self-reference of location.  I was unable to figure out how to modify the xml of the export such that a reimport would fix it.  (Export it and look at the xml - do a find on MeasurementPointWrite and you will see what I mean).
However, try the following:
Create a new transaction.
Copy the top sequence and include children of the MeasurementPointWrite transaction (basically you are copying the entire transaction contents).
Paste it to the empty sequence in your new transaction. 
Save it under some name.
Create another new transaction.
Drag and drop your first new transaction into the empty sequence of your second new transaction. 
Now it works...
Go figure.

Mike
