Kbabel 1.3 PO compendium reading problem

Hi,

So far I've been using (for KDE translation) KBabel 1.0.2 on SuSE 9.0 
(KDE 3.1.4)
When I upgraded KDE to version 3.2.1, I got a problem with KBabel 1.3. 
Whenever I try to load a PO Compendium file I get an error about kbabel 
not being  able to read the file.  I know that PO Compendium file is 
good, because it was used by the earlier version. Does anyone has any 
idea what could be the problem?
I like the improvements in the v. 1.3, but this problem is a show 
stopper for me.

Thanks,
Ivan
