Normally, this error message indicates that there is some non-xml present before the xml starts. I'm wondering if there are some "invisible" chars in your document and the way you "chop up" the file is cleaning them out. If you are using unix/linux, have you tried inspecting the file using something like od -cx input.xml | more to see *exactly* what chars your file starts with?
