[SOLVED] Openbox-menu saying Menu not found...

Question

Hello all,
I installed Arch with Openbox. For the menu, I want to use openbox-menu to see my Applications.
In menu.xml, I put the line:
<menu execute="openbox-menu" id="desktop-app-menu" label="Applications"/>
But when I point it in the menu, I get:
Menu not found. Please specify a menu specification file.
I get the same result in Terminal either as a user or as root.
These are the "menu" packages I have installed:
[philippe@phil-bureau ~]$ pacman -Qs menu
local/dmenu-xft 4.5-1
Dynamic X menu - with xft support
local/gnome-menus 3.2.0.1-1
GNOME menu specifications
local/gnome-menus2 3.0.1-1
GNOME menu specifications
local/libdbusmenu-qt 0.9.0-2

local/lxmenu-data 0.1.2-1 (lxde)

local/menu-cache 0.3.2-1 (lxde)
Caches to speed up freedesktop.org's application menus use.
local/obmenu 1.0-9
Openbox menu editor.
local/openbox-menu 0.3.6.6-1
Dynamic XDG menu for openbox
local/openbox-xdgmenu 0.3-2

Any help/ideas/suggestions are welcome!
Thanks
Philippe

Hey guys, thanks for the quick response!
Openbox-menu comes from AUR and the menu.xml is a copy of my Archbang installation. And yes, openbox-menu works like a charm on Archbang. So what am I missing?
Here is the menu.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openbox_menu xmlns="http://openbox.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://openbox.org/ file:///usr/share/openbox/menu.xsd">
