And just what do you have above? Is there an illegal character that
slipped in there somewhow?

I would slide in a space before the curly bracket like:

define timeperiod {
        timeperiod_name                 24x7
        alias                           Always
        sunday                          00:00-24:00
        monday                          00:00-24:00
        tuesday                         00:00-24:00
        wednesday                       00:00-24:00
        thursday                        00:00-24:00
        friday                          00:00-24:00
        saturday                        00:00-24:00
}

And just to humour me. Could you remove the comment line with an unmatched
single quote sign ? And try without spaces in the alias definition. At
least get rid of the comma as is is a common delimiter.

Hugo.
