Are you on Windows? This looks like it might be a problem due to Windows using two characters to indicate line endings. It seems that the second of those characters is being taken as the first character of the "type" field label in the input. Since "\ntype" is not the same as "type", you're getting the error you are seeing.

I would suggest that you try resaving the file "ss" to have Linux-style line endings.
