Dear Shruba,

it is indeed surprising that an UPF file is correctly read on the  
Opteron cluster but not on the IBM SP5 one. We have been using the  
same pseudo on both Opteron and IBM SP5 and never got this error  
message. My 0-level suggestion would be to check if the pseudo file  
contains non printable characters such as ^M or similar.
