Change sodipodi:namedview's ID attribute to id="base" - this is to work around a bug in the current stable Inkscape extensions tool which was crashing it. Note that I haven't tested this workaround. su_v says this is the correct way to do it because apparently id="base" is a reserved name for namedview in sodipodi - which seems like a rather common and collision-likely name.  I had misread him and changed the path's id to base, and that seemed to work fine.  If changing namedview doesn't work, try renaming the path instead.
