Confirmed, at least from my side. The problem lies in your bibtex
file, which biber cannot process. I believe it has some characters,
that even if UTF-8 encoded, are not understood by biber. For example,
in one reference:
@INBOOK{ashbrook:brain,
chapter = {7},
title = {The Frontal Lobes, Intending, and a Purposeful God},
publisher = {Pilgrim Press},
year = {1997},
author = {Ashbrook, James~B. and Albright, Carol Rausch},
annote = {A typical InBook entry, identified by title and also, in this case,
by chapter number rather than page range.},
booktitle = {The Humanizing Brain},
location = {Cleveland, OH},
shorttitle = {The Frontal Lobes}
}
You have a "~" in author. I removed this character and retried and it
seems to work with biber. Try yourself and let me know. Regards.
