Raghu,
Carefully review your data to make sure eveything lines up and is appropriate.  Then generate a new template and make sure it has all components in it even though you might not use everything.  Then use the 'transfer" function to transfer the data from the existing file to the new template. 
Try that.  Sometimes MDUG will throw strange errors is you reuse files or copy them.  Start with a clean template and this will hopefully work.  This has worked for me in the past when I'd see strange, never seen before errors.
Thanks.
