EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I have followed the instructions for getting SoundFont audio files 
into the EXSP24 synth.  However, when the SoundFont item shows up in 
the menu and I select it, the interface pops up a dialog that says 
that the file selected is not a valid sound file.  It does this for 
all of my sf2 files.  Any ideas?

From the instructions, it appears that, when I select the SoundFont 
item from the menu, it should be converted into EXS24 format before 
it is loaded - files and folders will be created automagically.
