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?

Hi Simon,
That was the exact problem! I had some invisible characters from my dataset creation process.
Thank you very much!!!
