SQL Loader and control file

Question

I know I've done this before but, I don't use SQL Loader often and I'm having issues getting a file to load.
The table has 6 columns in it - one of which is a timestamp.
I was having issues loading it initially with date format issues. I ruled out any issues with the timestamp format by simply loading a dummy table with some timestamp based data and had no issue.
So - I think the issue is around the fact that the table I'm loading's first column being a value I'm attempting to default with a sequence when loading and - that I'm screwing up something there.
Table is as such:
CREATE TABLE ACS_IPS
    (seq_ips NUMBER,
    col2   VARCHAR2(100),
    col3  VARCHAR2(100),
    col4    VARCHAR2(100),
    col5 TIMESTAMP,
    col6    VARCHAR2(100),
    col7    VARCHAR2(100),
    col8 DATE  DEFAULT SYSDATE NOT NULL,
    col9 VARCHAR2(30) DEFAULT USER);The control file is:
load data
truncate
into table acs_ips
fields terminated by ","
trailing nullcols
    seq_ips "seq_ips.nextval",
    col2,
    col3,
    col4,
    col5 TIMESTAMP "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF9",
    col6,
    col7
    )The sequence column isn't in the file being loaded... and - there are additional columns that are defaulted on the table that aren't in the control file.
Any help is appreciated... The error I'm getting is:
Rejected - Error on table CAMS.ACS_IPS, column ACTION_START.
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0

Yeah - not sure that clears it up...
The sequence in my table is the first column - and - I think that's the problem... the sequence is being loaded as the first column in the control file but - it's not in the file being loaded so - it's skewing (again - I think??) the data being read in - which is why I'm getting the timestamp issues on the one column (it's actually reading the next column in the file vs. the actual timestamp one).
If that's the issue - I'm not sure how to avoid it without restructuring the table to stick the sequence physically at the end. I'm certain that's not necessary and - I'm overlooking something that's otherwise simple but evading me.
