[Koha] Label question

After putting the issue on hold for a couple of months, we got back to it
this week. I successfully upgraded to 3.00.05 today and ran the label
generator again, and all the same problems I had before are still there.
Here is the error message generated in the koha-error_log:

label-print-pdf.pl: failed to parse label formatstring: Title at
/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Labels.pm line 862., referer:
http://koha-test.lrs.edu:8080/cgi-bin/koha/labels/label-manager.pl?op=add&batch_id=33&itemnumber=3242&itemnumber=78114&itemnumber=78821&itemnumber=78822&itemnumber=82406&itemnumber=87005

That occurs 24 times in two seconds against a test batch of six records. We
still only get a barcode and material number, and the spine labels still are
not splitting correctly.

Any thoughts where to go from here?

Thanks,

Chris
