I wonder if you have a non-ascii symbol in there somewhere? That may be
what this is trying to tell you.

Error in parse(text = x, keep.source = FALSE) :

  <text>:1:1: unexpected '<'


I have no dea what "mice" is supposed to output but using your data,
renamed dat1,
I did

library(mice)
pred <- quickpred(dat1, mincor = .1, minpuc = 0, inc=inlist)

and got
         TSHS_1R TSHS_2R TSHS_3R TSHS_4R TSHS_5R TSHS_6R TSHS_7R TSHS_8R
