I'm trying to talk to a C# program that uses protobuf-net from an iphone using http://code.google.com/p/metasyntactic/wiki/ProtocolBuffers

Unfortunately the .proto file I've been given (generated from the C# source code) includes an a line that protoc is rejecting:

repeated Pair_Guid_List`1 Local = 6;

It appears that this is because the source data is a C# Dictionary, with a Guid key and a class as the value. Is there a way to cope with this better?

The protobuf-net version in use is r278.zip.

(The C# sending and receiving these protobufs all works fine, it's just when we add the iphone into the mix that this becomes an issue.)
