Strange. I've imported MIF files before that did not have data with them 
and have had no trouble. I re-created your map exactly, exported it from 
MapInfo, Changed the column I had created [Junk Char(1)], and tried to 
import. It doesn't work! Same error message you had.

Try replacing your entry...

        Columns 0
...with...

        Columns 1
        Junk Char(1)

...and it will import. Not a great answer, but a work-around none the less.
