Well, the error is correct, that's not a valid UTF-8 character. I seem
to remember someone saying that ooasionally windows puts BOMs in UTF-8
files (which is completely bogus). Check the file using a simple text
editor a check if there are some odd characters at the beginning of the
file.
Have a ncie day,
