Sorry about the necro-post, but
here's your problem:

  <image
     xlink:href="C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\My Documents\My Pictures\mbb canal 1850 small.jpg"
     x="-13.21882"
     y="89.522919"
     width="766.30646"
     height="839.388"
     id="image2516"
     style="opacity:0" />

Get rid of that and it should might work.
