David,
http://www.qgis.nl/2012/07/13/koppelen-van-data-uit-csv-bestand/?lang=endefines the cvst file as a sequence of comma separated column definitions. The examples are all 'dense', with no space between the comma and the next value. It seems odd to define it in this way - perhaps there is a reason or perhaps it is a bijou bugette in QGIS ...
