So my client decided to use xml. I created the file and put it in
fixtures/initial_data.xml. On my development machine, which is a Mac,
it worked fine - running syncdb loaded the data. But on my client's
machine, which is running CentOS, running syncdb did not load the data
(it said 'Installed 0 object(s) from 0 fixture(s)'). But when I ran:

manage.py loaddata fixtures/initial_data.xml

That worked. Anyone have any ideas why sycndb worked on my mashine,
but it's not working on theirs?
