Hmmm...maybe there are more codes between setlocale tags and maybe this
can cause some trouble. I see

1. [setlocale currency=en_PB]
2. some other codes
3. [currency convert=1]
4. [data table=....

I believe, it is not very sure that you can use a lot of any MV-Tags
inside any other MV-Tags.
Maybe, this can works for you:

1. Make a scratch variable like

  [seti localedummy][data table=....][/seti]

2. try

  [setlocale en_PB]
  [currency][scratch localedummy][/currency]

3. Make sure, your locale.txt (or locale.asc) is right, because you can
define the currency symbol in the file "locale.txt" (or locale.asc) too.
Make sure, you define all the locale stuff in catalog.cfg _or_ in
locale.txt only. If I remembered right, I've had the same behavior like
you and I've set to different locale in my catalog.cfg, but in my
locale.txt, there was one price_picture for one locale only. The result
was "DM" and "$" instead of "DM" and "DM" for my both locale.

I hope, this can helps you!
