Creating a PAL DVD - need help!!!

I'm trying to create a PAL version of an NTSC DVD using DVD Studio Pro. I'm doing fine with re-sizing the graphics and, with help from compressor, creating PAL video elements. But I am getting totally frustrated with what as first seemed a minor task - subtitling.
The original sub-title files were done in English for NTSC. We are using the STL format for subtitles. I can't seem to get DSP to read these files into a PAL project. Because of the 25 FPS rate for PAL I tried changing all time codes ending with frames 25 - 29 to end at 24. This hasn't helped.
Can anybody point me in the right direction, or post a small part of a PAL caption file so I might see what I'm missing.
