At first glance, it appears that the error has something to do with the first lines of the file. Is there any possibility that you created/edited this file on a different system than you are running it on? It looks as if you have several blank lines at the top of the file. I would remove them. If you have a control file that works, you might scrutinize it carefully and make sure your file matches that one. Just a few ideas for you.
