Hi there,

I have some features in the NAD83 CSRS datum and while things run on FME Desktop, it fails on FME Server when there is reprojection:

Reprojector: Reproject: Could not reproject the geometry of the preceding feature: CS-Map Reprojector: Unable to load grid file for 'NAD83_to_CSRS' | CS-Map Reprojector: This grid may either be available at the government agency applicable to the geographical area or in the FME Reprojection Grid Add-on at: | http://www.safe.com/support/support-resources/fme-downloads/ or http://www.safe.com/support/support-resources/fme-downloads/beta/ | CS-MAP Reprojector: Please visit following link for more information on obtaining Canadian grid files: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/789/where-to-source-canadian-grid-shift-files-not-incl.html | CS-MAP Reprojector: No transformation found to get from 'CSRS.UTM-12N (CSRS)' to 'EPSG:3857 (WGS84_SPHERICAL)'. Add CsmapReprojector transformers with explicitly chosen transformations

I went to look for the transformation file from NRCan and I've been playing with these files: NTV2_0.GSB, ABCSRSV4.GSB (Alberta only)

After applying the NTV2_0.GSB file to the "NAD83_to_CSRS" definition, the override txt file it produces contains this:

XFORM_GRID_OVERRIDE_DEF NAD83_to_CSRS  \
   GRID_FILE NTv2,Fwd,C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\FME\CoordinateSystemGridOverrides\NTV2_0.GSB

But FME can no longer run.  It produces this error:

Starting translation...
XFORM_GRID_OVERRIDE_DEF expected, found 'NUM_OREC'
Unbalanced quotation marks encountered on line 2 of file C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\FME\CoordinateSystemGridOverrides\NTV2_0.GSB -- line was `AE_LONG  

The Alberta grid shift file has a similar "unbalanced quotation marks" error.

When I add these files to FME Server, it causes the one engine to die:

I've tried adding quotes surrounding the path in the override txt file even though there are no spaces in the path on either environments.

Is there just something wrong with these GSB files?

My Desktop is on build 20787-win64. Server is 20806-linux-x64.
