jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi, I am new to jqGrid and am trying to get a simple grid which loads xml data from a php script to work. I have tried to model my code off the demos as close as possible, but for some reason, the actual data is not being displayed. Only the table, css, and the column names are being displayed..

Here is my XML output:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<rows>

	<page>1</page>

	<total>1</total>

	<records>4</records>

	<row id='1'>

		<cell><![CDATA[1]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[test]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[19]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[test]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[CA]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[email]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[1]]></cell>

	</row>

	<row id='2'>

		<cell><![CDATA[2]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[bob]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[22]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[test']]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[MA]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[phone]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[2]]></cell>

	</row>

	<row id='3'>

		<cell><![CDATA[3]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[Matt]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[20]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[test]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[TX]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[bloop]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[3]]></cell>

	</row>

	<row id='4'>

		<cell><![CDATA[4]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[blah]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[19]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[poker]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[CA]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[phone]]></cell>

		<cell><![CDATA[4]]></cell>

	</row>

</rows>

Here is the javascript code that makes the grid:

	// construct the grid
	$("#datagrid").jqGrid({
	   	url: data_url,
		datatype: "xml",
	   	colNames: col_name_array,
	   	colModel: col_model,
	   	rowNum: 10,
	   	autowidth: true,
	   	rowList:[10,20,30],
	   	pager: $('#pager'),
	   	sortname: 'bytefalcon_id',
	    viewrecords: true,
	    sortorder: "asc",
	    caption: datagrid_name,
	    mtype: 'GET'
	}).navGrid('#pager',{edit: false, add: false, del: false});

I have included the following scripts in the head:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" 

	href="/static/css/redmond/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css"></link>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="/static/css/ui.jqgrid.css"></link>
  <script src="/static/js/i18n/grid.locale-en.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script src="/static/js/jquery.jqGrid.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script src="/static/js/src/jqDnR.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I have verified that the col_name_array, col_model, and datagrid_name all have correct values. Plus, this is 

the only way the grid can be shown anyways and the grid is being shown properly. The problem is that the 

xml data is not being populated in the grid. The data_url points to the script which correctly outputs the 

xml data above. Again,

I have verified this by logging the GET message and the output..

Anyone have any ideas what is missing? Why isn't this working?

Thanks in advance.
