Are those entries missing entirely or are they in the 'Missing 
components' category? The former one definitely suggests that you did 
not add the init_components lines to your settings file (are you sure 
its in the right location?). If its the latter and 'isabelle components 
-a' does not do anything, this suggests some problem with the components 
tool (or its dependencies).
