[worked around] djmount does not display realmedia (.ra, ram) files

I have set up Mediatomb to serve my .mp3, .flv, .mp4, .ra and ram collection via UPnP. Using the Mediatomb browser gui on a client machine I can browse the media collection - all the file types listed are displayed. Also, on the client machine, using VLC (version 1.06-1), the UPnP service discovery displays all the files.

However, when I use fuse/djmount to create a folder under my home directory with the shared files, no realmedia (.ra .ram) files are displayed. I can only see .mp3. .flv .mp4,  files.

Googling around, I haven't found a mention that realmedia isn't supported by djmount (the djmount version is from the testing repo package  - version 0.71-3).

Am I missing a trick? 

Any suggestions are appreciated,

Thanks in advance

Edit: I noticed along with the .mp3 files visible in djmount, a folder is created called .metadata. Inside are files called myfile.ram.xml where the myfile is the original .ram filename. Opening the .xml file in a browser gives an error message together with a reference eg:
mplayer http://192.168.2.107:49152/content/medi … t/file.ram
where the ip refers to the server address. This can be played with mplayer on the client machine using:

mplayer http://192.168.2.107:49152/content/medi … t/file.ram

which plays the original realmedia file.
