Problem following bpelx:append

Question

In my bpel .wsdl file, I have imported an xsd file. I have created an element <panel-member> from a type in the xsd file. There is an array of this type as part of a web service method message I want to invoke.
I have gone through an array of elements, setting the values of the <panel-member> element, and then appending each to the appropriate place in the invoke message. I have checked the element tags and they are all fine.
When the method is invoked, I get an error message stating that <panel-member> is an invalid element.
The XSD defines panel-member as:
<complexType name="panel-member">
<sequence>
<element name="id" type="string" />
<element name="name" type="string" />
<element name="role" type="string" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
and the type in the bpel .wsdl file is defined as:
<element name="panelMemberHolder">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="panel-member" type="pref:panel-member" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
Panel is defined as:
<complexType name="panel">
- <sequence>
<element name="panel-rules" type="tns:panel-rules" />
<element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="panel-member" type="tns:panel-member" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
Why might I be getting a message telling me that panel-member is not a part of panel?
