Just to close this thread the report now also uses the schema and has been run 
and all the results are here:

For those who wish to convert over simply change your kcfg file to have this:  

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kcfg xmlns="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0
      http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0/kcfg.xsd" >

Now then, patches to fix broken kcfg files are welcome.
