You might need to run oowriter with the pipe support.

I think the citation insertion changed in openoffice 3, so if that's what 
you're using, it probably won't work. And I actually removed the ooo 
citation code for the latest versions since it didn't work and there wasn't 
any real use, as far as I could tell.
