Thanks for looking into this. I added --sort after each input file name 
and it still gives the same error. The OSM map file was generated by 
osmosis, which I used to split planet.osm.

java -Xmx1560m -jar /home/nav/scripts/osmosis.jar --read-xml 
file="/home/nav/temp/tile.63255095.osm" --sort --read-xml 
file="/home/nav/temp/eletile.63255095.osm" --sort --merge --write-xml 
file="/home/nav/temp/mergedtile.63255095.osm"

thanks, Andy
