Essbase Maxl Issue - In UNIX

Question

Hi Everyone,
We are trying to build dimension using maxl script in unix box.
Facing syntax and unexpected error. Followed the steps as below.
1.In Putty, navigated to bin folder and invoked maxl script using ./startMaxl.sh command
2.logged in using  the command login 'username' 'password' on 'essbaseservername';
3.Executed the import database command to build dimension having sql as source as below
   import database 'xxx'.'xxx' dimensions connect as 'bis_read' identified by 'bis_read' using server rules_file 'DimChn' on error write to '/home/essproj/Maintenance/Automation/Logs/CTO/Build/Channel1.txt'
4.Executed the import database command to build dimension having datafile as source as below
   import database 'xxx'.'xxx' dimensions from data_file '/home/essproj/Maintenance/Automation/Source Files/CTO/Measures.txt' using server rules_file 'DimMeas' on error write to             '/home/essproj/Maintenance/Automation/Logs/CTO/Build/Measures_log.txt'
Throwing the error
ERROR - 1242021 - (1) Syntax error near ['/'].
as well as
ERROR - 1241101 - Unexpected Essbase error 1054036.
5. We even tried to save the .mxl file in the utf-8 formate and tried to execute the .mxl file at that time we are getting the error as "Segment Fault" but we are using the super user credentials to do this activity.
Please help on this

Hi,
Please using '\' instead of '/'. You can use spool in your mxl script to capture the error better.
spool on to 'c:\dimbuild.log';
MAXL Statements & commands;
import database 'xxx'.'xxx' dimensions from data_file '\home\essproj\Maintenance\Automation\Source Files\CTO\Measures.txt' using server rules_file DimMeas on error write to             '\home\essproj\Maintenance\Automation\Logs\CTO\Build\Measures.log.txt';
spool off;
logout;
exit;
Also label's also would do the magic..!! Let us know us how it goes..!!
Thanks
