Are you using "Oracle Report Builder" or the included "Report Builder" 
extension?   Which version of LO are you using, and which OS and version 
of "Oracle Report Builder" are you using?  It would be helpful to know 
these things for the people here that know that type of package inside 
and out.

Are we still using "Oracle Report Builder" for the extension, or did 
someone modify it for TDF/LO and changed the name to "Report Builder"?  
I know that "Report Builder" not "Oracle. . ." is a installed and locked 
extension that has been a part of LO installs for months now.
