[MaraDNS list] read slashcommand causes Host name must be at beginning of a line

[Karim Malhas]

Dear List,

I am new to maradns so please forgive me if I have overlooked something
very obvious.

I am trying to set up maradns for my local network on debian squeeze using
the version (1.4.03) supplied
by the repositories and I am running into 

   "Error: Host name must be at the beginning of a line" 

when using the "/read" slash command.

It seems that the configparser is treating the "h" of the hostname "hatch"
as a special character, but I can't tell why it would to that. 
The manpage for csv2 seems to allow this format and I think I have the
right amount of '~' seperators
Can anyone give me a hint as to what it is that I am doing wrong?

I append the complete errormessage and configuration below.

Regards,
Karim
