Having problems uploading shape files:

One is this

The problem went away after a cleanout and restart of geonode. However, it'd be worthwhile catching these kind of errors higher up in the food chain. For example if self.dom.find("defaultStyle/name") is None it'd better to produce information in gsconfig. py about what could have caused that condition.
