Baffled why the page goes blank for home.tpl

Xcart Gold 4.1.6 on Unix.

I'm modifying the templates head.tpl and home.tpl. It's the home.tpl that's giving me problems. When I replace the customer/home.tpl with this code the home.php page goes completely blank. Had to make two posts because of too many characters.

Code:

{* $Id: home.tpl,v 1.19.2.5 2006/10/24 13:46:18 svowl Exp $ *}

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

{if $printable ne ''}

{include file="customer/home_printable.tpl"}

{else}

{config_load file="$skin_config"}

I have a similar design already there in place that works fine. But when I replace the current home.tpl with this then it basically fails. Blank page and blank source code...like it's not recognizing it as HTML.

Ideas?

Re: Baffled why the page goes blank for home.tpl

Second part of code, just splice together to get the jist:

Code:

 <body onload="preloadImages();" {$reading_direction_tag}{if $body_onload ne ''} onload="javascript: {$body_onload}"{/if} >

{include file="rectangle_top.tpl" }

{include file="head.tpl" }

{if $active_modules.SnS_connector}

{include file="modules/SnS_connector/header.tpl"}

{/if}
