Paul,

All key:value pairs end with commas except for the last one.

Yes, that's not uncommon. I try to catch and repair them when I enter the
document in JabRef, but aren't always successful. Now corrected.

The error specified the document name, not any key:value pair between the
opening and closing braces:
WARN - Name in key 'Paul2012' is empty (probably consecutive 'and'):
skipping entry 'Paul2012'

The name key has no 'and' in it.

While this is a warning, not an error, I'd still like to have biber accept
it as correct.

Still puzzled,

Rich
