Paperless geocaching on the Etrex30

Hi,
Just got my first GPSr, and because I am reasonable tech savvy I thought it would be a snap to load gpx files onto it and start paperless geocaching.
I set up pocket querys from geocaching.com, downloaded and transfered the files into the GPX folder on my connected etrex. After the etrex boots and configures the waypoints i notice that there is "no geocaches found" under the geocaches tab. I read on the website that gpx files from geocaching.com are all you need to go paperless on an etrex. it did not specify that you could only use paperless through opencaching.com. is this the case? I live in a country town in australia and the nearest opencaching.com cache is 9 hours away, but in between that there is thousands of geocaching.com caches. Please help with this issue. the best i have been able to find from the website/ forums/ google is a video how to do it via opencaching.com, and another page that tells me what i am after is possible, but doesnt tell me how to do it. Thanks for your assistance. Ben
