First, from the command line, please type:

python2.4 tests/reconstitute.py http://www.zackvision.com/weblog/urdu.xml

What you should see back is an Atom 1.0 version of your feed.  If this
is working correctly, the problem isn't with the feed, but with the
cache directory.  If so, please create a new cache_directory and
change the "cache_directory" line in your config.ini and try
rerunning.

Based on these results, perhaps we can narrow down where the problem is.
