Hm.  Sure looks like Postgres thinks the file is empty.

That "CSV HEADER" option would silently eat the first line, so I'm
wondering if the data looks like it's a single line to COPY,
ie maybe there is something funny about the newlines in your file.
You could check this theory easily by leaving off "CSV HEADER"
and seeing if the results change.
