Right.  I haven't actually seen this problem before, but I suggest you use
VabTool (which can be downlaoded the SCEE/SCEA sites).  VabTool is a
Windows util which compiles VAGs into a single VAB and bypasses the need
to create a DEF file.  I've had no troubles with Vabsplit with VABs
created by VabTool.

Hope that sorts you.
