Hi Allan,
Weird, weird... stu211 and stu213 are low resolution version of (official)
primitives stud11 and stud13. They are not strictly required, but MLCad does
complain if you use a part that contain stud11 or stud13 (but everything works
nonetheless. But no Fabuland part use them...
Note that stu211/stu213 are primitives and should be placed in p folder (not
parts one) so they should not be included in parts list.
Note also that you should NOT use MLCad Scan part, but use the mklist utility
provided with LDraw parts distribution because of long file names (see
http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=4095). As I write this, I think I get the key
of your problem: Fabuland heads and figure shortcuts (but not the torso parts
themselves) do use long file names...
