You have a superfluous third = at the end of the first line of the 
definition of BCs.  And something got garbled in the message; is "=F0" a 
version of some ASCII code?

I presume you meant there that u[x,1]==Sin[x].

If so, then obviously the alleged solution does not satisfy that last 
boundary condition:

   Sin[Pi x] Sinh[Pi y] /. y -> 1 // InputForm
Sin[Pi*x]*Sinh[Pi]
