Did the sed actually do anything? (Hint: the file size of
geonames_fixed.txt would be larger than geonames.txt if it did.
Or you could diff the two files to confirm that something sensible
happened.)
I suspect that your shell may be fouling things up here. You may need
to prepare this command as a one-line shell script, using an editor that
doesn't barf on bare carriage returns ...
