You're mixing SimpleXML (<row><chart>...) with AdvancedXML (<module name="foo"><param name="bar">...), that can't work.

Take the SimpleXML dashboard without any modules, convert to AdvancedXML, and add your map modules afterwards.

When you open your dashboard you can append ?showsource=advanced to the URL to get an ugly but working conversion.

In the long run I'd rebuild the view using SideviewUtils from scratch if you're going to build on AdvancedXML.
