You should probably have tested before doing that.
There are two branches in the CVS and they are incompatible (including 
one which is too unstable to be used), and I think you took files from 
both, which
probably is the reason for the errors you get.

Hmm, sounds like an issue with type.cfg... your validator doesn't know 
its content types any more. You said you took type.cfg version 1.6, and 
the CVS log for this file says it's in HEAD (dangerous), and states 
that there is a backward-incompatible change made, which supports my 
theory of mixed branches.

I suggest you reinstall (sorry) either the packaged version, or from 
CVS using only the validator-0_6_0-branch branch.

Hope this helps. Tell us how it evolves.
