Re: FO Exception external-graphic

fo:external-graphic src attribute takes a URI not an MSDOS file path
The URI also (unfortunately) has to be wrapped in CSS url(" ... ")
syntax.

so you should have

<fo:external-graphic src='url("file:///c/picDir/{@personID}.jpg")"

Or at least I am assuming that's what you want: you did not have a 
\ or / betweeen @personID  

 concat('C:\picDir',@personID,'.

although your error message indicated one, perhaps teh \ is in the
personID attribute?

  "[ERROR] Error while creating area : Error with image URL:
  C:\picDir\776.jpg (The system cannot find the file specified) and no
  base URL is specified".


The fact that you got that error at all indicates that your system isn't
enforcing the url() syntax.
