External DTD with XDOM3.2

Hello,

I try to validate my xml file with a external dtd file.

My dtd file starts like this:
<!ELEMENT import (version, customer)>
<!ELEMENT version (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT customer (cuspayment?, cusbranch*, cuscomm+, cusaddress+,
rep?, prditems?)>
<!ATTLIST customer
no CDATA #REQUIRED
sex (5|6) #REQUIRED
name CDATA #REQUIRED
addname CDATA #IMPLIED
block (204|205|206|207|208|209|210|211) #REQUIRED
iscommercial CDATA "0"
comment CDATA #IMPLIED
>

And my xml file has the reference to this dtd file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE import SYSTEM "import.dtd">
<import>

Both files are in the same folder but some how I cannot validate the
xml file using the dtd. I get lots of ELEMENT_NOT_DEFINED messages.
Where if I put the dtd into the xml file it works fine.

Does somebody have a idea what it could be.
Maybe a missing setting in the xdom3.2 component that I need to do?

Thank you very much
