Looking at the part of the BrowseIndex code which parses the
configuration, it appears that the metadata field declaration cannot
contain numbers or special characters, so your configuration is breaking
on the "1" and the "-". I think that counts as a bug.
The fix is probably relatively straightforward, but would require you to
rebuild and redeploy your DSpace instance. Let me know if this is
viable, and I can help you out.

Anything with "item" on the right hand side refers to an actual list of
items, and the final part of the configuration tells the browse system
which sort term configuration to use. So:
webui.browse.index.1 = datecreated:item:datecreated
Tells the browse system to create an item level browse on the sort
configuration "datecreated". This is should be configured further down as
something like:
webui.itemlist.sort-option.2 = datecreated:dc.date.created:date
Telling the browse system which metadata field to sort by
("dc.date.created"), and the datatype of that metadata field ("date").
Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Richard
