Custom XML Content Importer Issues

Hi, I've been trying to read in a file of XML with my custom content importer.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<GUIWindow> 
  <ScrollBar name="scroll"> 
    <Max>100</Max> 
    <Min>0</Min> 
    <CurrentValue>100</CurrentValue> 
    <Background>/GUI/back</Background> 
    <ActivePart>/GUI/top</ActivePart> 
    <X>100.0f</X> 
    <Y>100.0f</Y> 
  </ScrollBar> 
</GUIWindow>

The issue is that when the content compiler goes to compile the file it gets to an int and fails returning: Error 10 Building content threw ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. I parse the int with max = int.Parse(node2.Value), but this is failing, without this (and the other int parses) the build completes. Without seeing the values that its reading I don't know where to start. I'm not serializing the data as I believe it would be unwieldy for what I'm doing (the example above is much simpler than other data sets). Thanks in advance for any help. -R [Edited by - lord_balron on May 4, 2010 5:36:47 AM]

Any ideas?

I'm really at a loss right now, I have no idea what could be wrong, has anyone else had this issue before?
