You MUST create and edit that file in vi, or vim as its often called. PURE text. I don't know what the MacMiner built in editor is doing, but it introduces hidden, bad characters in.
The file lives in /Users/your-name/Library/Application Support/MacMiner/bfguils.conf
to get to it, change to that directory from Terminal, and use vi to create the file.
Use this with the inverted commas.
Stop MacMiner - close it down.
cd "/Users/your-name/Library/Application Support/MacMiner"
vi bfguils.conf
save it.
Start MacMiner - hope for the best. This has been driving me NUTS for days now. But I think I discovered it. Don't edit it from within MacMiner - ever. The moment you do, it's stuffed and NOTHING you do to that file will clean it.
