1. Do you really have a blank line between "COPY" and "5"? If so, that's 
your problem.
2. Are you perhaps copying+pasting from a Windows machine to a Linux one 
or similar? You might be getting "\r\n" at the end of lines when it's 
expecting "\n".

Might want to set aside some time to upgrade in the near future - you're 
missing four full versions since 2003. At the very least, upgrade to 
7.4.25 at your earliest convenience.
