Hi,
did you check quotation marks, too? Did you check *all kinds* of brackets 
(-> "{" , "[" , "(" )?
Did you export the package from a version 3 notebook? Sometimes 
Mathematica loses the syntax due to reformatting box commands (-> 
"\(...)"). You can eliminate box formats and then use cut&paste instead 
of the export function.
Did you check line feeds?
Cheers,
Peter
