Maybe there's a funny character in there. Seriously.
Especially if you have a mixture of Windows and Unix, you might
accidentally end up with carriage return characters (ASCII 0x0D) in some of
your text files on the Unix side. Different Unix editors, viewers, and
utilities may handle that situation differently.
Examine both your template and your data file for unexpected characters.
Many Unix text editors have modes in which they will display such
characters to you (and thus allow you to edit them out). To just see
whether there are any, you could try listing the files via 'cat
--show-nonprinting'
