I don't know Linux at all, but perhaps the problem is with carriage return/line feed characters in the Master.

Gobinath, just to make sure that you haven't got any odd characters in your file, you can do an octal dump of the file. I don't know if the command is the same on Linux as on AIX but you can give it a try. If not, maybe you can research on Google and see if there is another command.
od -Ad -cx filename  

A space is an ascii 20. A line feed is an octal 12, decimal 10. A carriage return is an octal 15, decimal 13.

It looks like there was a tab or indent before each of the FIELDs.
