Please remove the semi-colon from your control file; also format the DATE columns appropriately. You might want to use the code below.
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE LIGHTON.test_otn
APPEND fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '^' trailing nullcols
COLLECTIONID,
PERSONID,
NAME1,
TAGS,
DELETED,
PRIVACY,
SERVICEID,
TYPE1,
CONTENTTYPE,
EMAILID,
DESCRIPTION,
CREATIONTIME date 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS',
UPDATETIME date 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS',
THUMBURL,
CATALOGID
