[Bins] Orientation

I am probably just being dense here but I haven't been able to get bins
to automatically rotate destination images.
FreeBSD 5.0-20030303, Perl 5.6.1, bins 1.1.20
~/.bins/binsrc has:
<parameter name="rotateImages">
destination
</parameter>
<parameter name="rotateWithJpegtran">
1
</parameter>
19:59:00 Sun Mar 09 $ which jpegtran
/usr/local/bin/jpegtran
My camera doesn't have the accelerometer to know which way is up so I
have to edit the .xml file manualy.
The best I have been able to puzzle out of the man page:
"If a user wants to override the EXIF values and provide a replacement
(such as a corrected Orientation or an Owner setting that reflects who
you loaned the camera to) adding a priority attribute with a value of
"1" will prevent bins from replacing it with the value in the image."
Tells me that I need the following in image.jpg.xml:
image.jpg.xml:
<snip>
<exif priority="1">
<snip>
<tag name="Orientation">
bottom_left
</tag>
<snip>
</exif></image>
However, the Orientation setting is being changed back to top_left by
bins. I think I have probably mis-interpreted the man page and need a
lesson in XML jargon.
