Paul,

this is why I am getting irritated at the (ie his) persistent lack of
sending in MWEs.  Having to go through this (and every time) borders on
the rude, and frustrates people like you (and me) who want to help.

A small file such as your dummy file, producing the error with the
required files allows anyone to just run the sucker and see where the
issue comes from.  Then one can also open the BIB file with another tool
(I like BibDesk on the Mac) and see what errors this flags.

I also find, when I have such an issue myself, reducing the file to
nothing else but the error producing text often makes me find the error
:-)-O

Never mind (him) sending in stuff with typos.
