Why didn't the UN inspectors burn it?

Ultra high explosives like RDX and HMX require a cap to detonate (that's one of the reasons why they're good for nukes). The UN inspectors could have gathered this material into a big pile and simply put a match to it. The material would have burned into black smoke without producing an explosion.
