Problems importing MS SQL Server 2008 DDL

Question

I'm trying to import DDL into SQL Developer DM 4.0 from an MS SQL 2008 DDL dump.   It fails to recognise ANY of the statements in the (perfectly legitimate) SQL file.    I'm clearly doing something wrong, but I have no idea what!   Any help/guidance gratefully received.

Hi David - thanks for responding.    There are no messages relating to the attempted import in the external log.    The version I'm using is 4.0.3.853.    Here are the first few lines of the "output" file:
Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 4.0.3.853
Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Import Log
Date and Time: 2014-11-27 11:15:55 GMT
Design Name: Untitled_1
RDBMS : SQL Server 2008
  All Statements:   2004
  Imported Statements:  0
  Failed Statements:   0
  Not Recognized Statements:  2004

The odd characters in the last line seem to be a feature of importing SQL Server DDL files.   I've done all sorts of things to eliminate them, but they actually seem to be added in by the parser!
Here are the first few lines of the actual DDL file:
USE [master]
GO
/****** Object:  Database [MyDatabase]    Script Date: 10/29/2014 11:45:32 ******/
CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabase] ON  PRIMARY
( NAME = N'MyDatabasedata', FILENAME = N'M:\Databases\MyDatabasesqldb01\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\MyDatabase.mdf' , SIZE = 20992512KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 512000KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'MyDatabaselog1', FILENAME = N'M:\Logs\MyDatabasesqllogs01\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\MyDatabase.ldf' , SIZE = 10769408KB , MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 512000KB )
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 80
GO
IF (1 = FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'))
begin
EXEC [MyDatabase].[dbo].[sp_fulltext_database] @action = 'disable'
end
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET ANSI_NULL_DEFAULT OFF
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET ARITHABORT OFF
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET AUTO_CLOSE OFF
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS ON
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MyDatabase] SET AUTO_SHRINK OFF
GO
I've change the database name.   Apart from that, this is the DDL I have.
Any help, pointers, anything would be appreciated!
