Dear John

Your .bib file did not make it through the system as only a very limited 
set of attachments is supported. Try to make a minimal .bib file which 
triggers the problem by splitting your file in half, testing each half, 
repeat until you get the smallest file which triggers the error. 
Hopefully that will be a single entry which you can then include in your 
post. It also increases the chances of someone looking at it as a large 
.bib file is going to deter people.
