Double check all your mappings, this is usyally the source of the problem. If it's just one type of instrument, check the Light Info Record attatched to the stmbol def. It may have the wrong information in it.

That would be the case if you were working with new symbols in this file. If you've been using the symbols in other files and it's been working fine, then it is a mapping problem. Make sure that the terms match, because it can be confusing. Specifically:

LW 'instrument type' to VW 'inst type'

LW 'device type' to VW 'device type'

LW 'instrument type symbol' to VW 'symbol name'

I don't know how you could possibly tell if the mapping is correct in an outside application - do you have info on how to translate the info? Here's the text in my mapping file:
