MetaData Load error in 11.1.1.3

Question

Hi,
I am trying to load metadata into a 11.1.1.3 Planning application using the outline load utility and encountered the below error -
D:\Hyperion\products\Planning\bin>OutlineLoad /A:UMB01 /U:admin /N /I:d:\ENT_MD.csv /D:Entity
/L:ENT_MD.log /X:ENT_MD.err

In the first row of excel sheet,which is a CSV file, I have the header names viz.
Entity, Parent, Data Storage, Aggregation in columns A,B,C,D respectively. I don't understand why it thorws out "Unrecognized column header values".
Please clarify.
Thanks

Hi,
Here is an example of how I loaded one record to the entity dimension
entityload.csv =
Parent,Entity,Alias: Default,Data Storage,Aggregation (Consol)
Entity,Alliance,Joint Venture Alliance,Store,~
command line =
OutlineLoad -f:passfile.txt /A:plansamp /U:admin /I:entityload.csv /D:Entity /L:outlineLoad.log /X:outlineLoad.exc /N
outlineload.log =
[Thu Oct 22 16:45:11 BST 2009]Successfully located and opened input file "E:\Hyperion\products\Planning\bin\entityload.csv".
[Thu Oct 22 16:45:11 BST 2009]Header record fields: Parent, Entity, Alias: Default, Data Storage, Aggregation (Consol)
