how large is the nhd_area.sql file? I'm assuming there is a bad character of some sort. The error is on line 1749. If you get notepad++ (thats what I use to open large files) you can go to the line. If the file is too large to email (try zipping it, that'll help then send to services @ gpsfiledepot.com (remove the spaces around @)), just copy that line here and I can most likely figure it out quickly.
