Error downloading template using XDOLoader

Question

In 11.5.10.2 RUP4, I'm trying to use FNDLOAD and XDOLoader to migrate an XML Publisher report template from the development server to the test server. I've worked through some of the errors, but I've hit upon one with XDOLoader that I'm not sure how to resolve (displayed, below).
NB - For the JDBC connection, I've tried both the host name and the IP address and get the same results. I've also used US and 00 for the territory (00 is what's really in the database, but the documentation example shows US) and also continue to get the same results. I do see after running the 00 option, there are 2 files <code_name>en00.rtf and .xsl, so I'm making progress.
Am I missing something else in the call? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Pam,
I am using the following syntax to extract rtf template files and it works. Just change the parameters...
java oracle.apps.xdo.oa.util.XDOLoader \
DOWNLOAD \
-DB_USERNAME apps \
-DB_PASSWORD apps \
-JDBC_CONNECTION <host>:<port>:<instance> \
-LOB_TYPE TEMPLATE \
-APPS_SHORT_NAME <app short name> \
-LOB_CODE <template short name> \
-LANGUAGE en \
-TERRITORY GB
My problem is that I'm getting the same error when I'm trying to extract the data template xml file. I'm wondering if it is possible to extract this type of lob as I haven't found it described in the documentation... :-(
