    OK... so... what it sounds like is your NameMapping file might have gotten corrupted somehow.  Do you have a source control back up of it?  Try and restore that and see if that fixes the problem.  I've tried TC 14 here and it's working fine which means that it's probably something messed up with the file.

    Thank, sir.  After I replaced the NameMapping file, it worked fine.  

     

    I am still concerned as to how it got corrupted in the first place.  How does that happen?

      I've seen corruption happen, mainly, with an improper merge in source control.  It's a fairly complicated XML structured file that, if you get the start tags or end tags wrong or out of order, you can blow away a whole bunch of stuff.
