How to fix this error message?

I've just tried uploading my first book, produced in iBooks Author, but get the following error message:
Error ITMS-9000: "Unable to parse opt file: container.xml" at Book
Does anyone know what it means, and how to fix it?

I did lots of research before posting this, and found quite a few people have experienced the same problem.
So after posting, I decided to phone Apple iBooks support too, and one remark in the conversation we had led me to the solution.  It might work for you too:
"...have you double-checked the names of all the files to see if there are characters in there that might mess things up" (not word for word, but you know what i mean).
I did, and there were.  I got rid of an asterisk, and a hyphen (both in just one file name) and tried again - and the upload went smoothly straightaway. 
It's something you might know, but easily overlook.
Thanks to Sara at Apple for reminding me - and hope it works for you too.

    This is generally a Lion error.. and you will need 5.6 utility to get access to the disk area.
    So download the real utility. Run it instead of v6 toy version.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Go to the manual setup, disk page and click on disconnect all users.. that will unmount all users connected to the disk and allow it to start working. But there are a number of other issues that are possible cause. Pondini lists some of them.

    "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.

    Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. “I can't send email” or “I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out”. You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you.
    Something that usually works if you’re trying to use an outgoing (SMTP) server different from the one provided by your ISP (and in the case of .Mac in particular) is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Server Settings.

    Can someone tell me how to fix this error in 10.4.11 on a G5 Quad Core 2.5GHz Tower...A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]

    That's an error reported from DVD Player I believe...
    kDVDErrorMissingGraphicsDevice = -70017, // A valid graphics device is not available.
    There's some conjecture it has to do with HDCP, or Video Card problems, but the only 2 cures/fixes I found were Software related, one was cured by updating the OS, another by replacing the Video kexts.
    I think this error also shows up if trying to use DVD player in Safe Mode, (too much research isn't good! ).

    Hope this helps.
    I have been messing around with Mt Lion Server last day or so. Different than Lion Server, more refined, more sreamlined.
    I got this same error message when trying to enable and setup NetRestore / NetInstall.
    Looks like when one is using Wi-Fi as the network interface, you get this error. I suspected this.
    Not sure if this is a bug or Apple wants people to use Ethernet only, if so why give a choice, probably a bug.
    I have succefully used NetRestotre Lion server on a 2011 Mac Mini, worked perfectly. Then I remembered, I was using wired Ethernet, as I suspect most servers would use a wired network connection.
    MT Lion Server NetRestore / NetInstall works if you use Ethernet, and turn off Wi-Fi. Ethernet will actually show up as a selectable option under Access > Settings > Enable NetInstall Setttings On.., and you click Edit, and can check enable Ethernet.
    Once I did that the error went away. Then you get another message, if you do not have a NetRestore (in my case) image in the proper path, which you can set. I always like to do this away from the the boot volume, saves space, etc.
    You have to manually copy the .nbi folder you created with System Image Util. It seems Apple could have gone the extra step and included that in the Server GUI.
    No more Workgroup Manager, Server Admin, and the other dozen apps it tooks to admin server. Some are complaining. I for one like it very much. Always thought it was somewhat stupid and lazy of Apple to have that functionality across several apps. It was always un Apple like. It should be One App. I like what the Server app is now.
    Managing users, groups, shares, services is so much better, and refined, consolidated. Makes so much more sense.
    (Local User, Local Network User), you actually know clearly what type of user you are loooking at. WGM was IMHO a nightmare to navigate, it was schizophrenic (left over from NeXT I surmise).
    And of course one can go to the CL for all sorts of deep things like dns, changeip, dscl, odutil, etc. It's all there.
