Your editor prepends the file with a byte-order mark ("BOM")
that PostgreSQL chokes on (bug #5398). This will be fixed in
9.0 (cf.
<URI:http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/release-9-0.html#AEN99331;);
until then you either have to configure your editor not to
save the BOM or chop off the first three bytes yourself
(with tail, sed, Perl & Co.).
