[Solved] Openbox - script not working as pipemenu

I am trying to get this scipt to work as a pipemenu: http://openbox.org/wiki/Openbox:Pipemenus:Date_Menu

It works fine in urxvt but this is what happens when I edit menu.xml: http://www.imagebam.com/image/5662a9143366447

I have saved date-menu.sh to my home folder, made it executable and added these lines to menu.xml:

<menu id="date" label="Calendar" execute="/home/anita/date-menu.sh" />
<menu id="date"/>

Do you have this at the end

<menu id="date"/>

?
It shouldn't be there. It gives you two menus with same id whereof the last one is wrong.

Thank you. I was copying the layout of another menu entry that I guess I should not have.

It still did not work though, until I removed EOFMENU from the bottom of the script.
