I figured that this conversion problem is only while I am working inside
scratchbox.
I am able to create a .gpx from .osm on host.

However the gpx file doesn't show all the tag information for a particular
node (all k and v values for a node).It seems to select only one out of the
osm-features and puts it in the <sym> tag. while only the k=note value goes
into the <desc> tag.
Rest of the osm data in that node seems to have lost.
Is this the drawback of the conversion?

Thanks,
Leenata.
