That '\r' looks suspiciously like a carriage return.  Have you verified
that your file is using the UN*X-style line-feed ("\n") instead of the
WINDOWS-style carriage-return/line-feed pair ("\r\n")?

There are a number of ways to convert files between the two delimiter
formats including emacs, dos2unix, unix2dos, etc.  See "man dos2unix"
for more details.
