So it's complaining about the following namespace, "bmdlingwf", I presume its one of yours?
It is certainly not Alfresco's.

Have you got configurations of your workflows which use this namespace, if so then double check you have defined the namespace correctly. Use the existing alfresco workflows as examples.
