Apart from the specific problematic file you gave, I had some other 
scoping issues when using TH to generate the accessors. I worked around 
this by defining my data types in a separate module Types and calling 
the TH functions in that module as the last lines. Then I had my other 
modules import Types, bringing the types and the accessors back in 
scope. See:

Hope this helps,

Martijn.
