ROS spawn_model with URDFs and SDF parsing in Fuerte

I am unable to get any success with gazebo SDF parser when spawning URDF models with ROS Fuerte. During roslaunches, I get the warning messages:

Warning [parser.cc:330] Gazebo SDF has no gazebo element

Warning [parser.cc:269] parse as sdf version 1.0 failed, trying to parse as old deprecated format

Warning [parser.cc:275] parse as old deprecated world file failed, trying old model format.

As a result, parser.cc reverts to the old deprecated methods used in ROS Electric. Is there any way to successfully use spawn_model and get the gazebo SDF parser to recognize the gazebo element? If so, then I must be improperly creating URDFs and/or gazebo plugins.

Thanks

Currently have similar issue with simple_world.launch, so it may not just be your URDFs

I'm also receiving the same errors (but with empty_world.launch and spawn_model)
