Actually the weird thing is that the problem appears when you copy/paste the text from the file to the area on Webtools/XML import page, on Windows and on Linux as well. So trying to get rid of the BOM char in file is a nonsense. Actually I even think that there is no BOM char in the file (since Scite would detect it else, and because it you tried both encoding with Scite and save the file, the file size does not change). Acutally it's no a big problem, only a weird issue. Which may hide something more annoying maybe, that's why I tried to understand... Enough for me today anyway...

I just used Webtools/XML import.
I tried on Linux : same issue. Not that, for the moment, it's the sole file that I found that has this problem (the BOM - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark- in content I mean, of course on Linux I have no "\" in path issue :o). It sounds like a special character has slipped in. But I don't know how to get rid of it. I tried Scite which is capable of doing change from UTF-8 BOM to UTF-8 without BOM and vice-versa, but noways so far...

How are you doing the import (ie webapp and which page, or command  line and 
which args, etc)?

BTW I'm facing also an UTF-8 BOM problem when I want to import the content of this file using the text import option. I switch to Ubuntu 8.10 to test (I should set another machine with a KWM I have, but it's too noisy, an Pentium HT proc, a kind of electric heater. actually ;o)
The error I get is
ERROR: Error parsing entity xml file:
