Mike,
This is actually pretty normal for an automatic symbol generation utility.  It
creates symbols for all subcircuits.  Are you using the symbol that contains all
the rest?  Or trying to use a symbol that only contains part?  What you are
dealing with is probably not a netlister problem, but a parser problem...
