xmobar error

My .xmobarcc file is:

Config {  font = "monospace-8"
	 , bgColor = "black"
	 , fgColor = "lightblue"
	 , position = Top
	 , lowerOnStart =  True
	 , commands = [ Run Weather "KMIA" ["-t","<MIA>: <tempF>F","-L","65","-H","85","--normal","green","--high","red","--low","lightblue"] 36000 
		      , Run Network "eth0" ["-L","0","-H","32","--normal","green","--high","red"] 10
		      , Run Memory ["-t","Mem: <usedratio>%"] 10
		      , Run CpuFreq ["-t","Freq: <cpu0>GHz","-L","0","-H","2","-l","green","-n","green","-h","red"] 10
 		      , Run Cpu ["-L","3","-H","50","--normal","green","--high","red"] 10
		      , Run CoreTemp ["-t","Temp:<core2>C","-L","40","-H","60","-l","green","-n","gray90","-h","red"] 60
 		      , Run Com "uname" ["-s","-r"] "" 36000
		      , Run Date "%a %b %_d %Y %H:%M:%S" "date" 1
		      , Run DiskIO [("/", "/: <read> <write>"), ("/home", "/home: <read> <write>")] [] 20 10
		      , Run TopMem [] 10
		      , Run TopProc [] 10
		      ]	
	 , sepChar = "%"
	 , alignSep = "}{"
	 , template = " %KMIA% | %eth0% | %memory% | %topmem% | %topproc% | %diskio% }{ %cpufreq%  %cpu% | %coretemp% | %com% | %date% "
        } 

============================================
The error I get is:
Configuration file contains errors at:
"Config" (line 18, column 10):
error reading the commands: this ususally menas that a command could not be parsed.
The error could be located at the beginnning of the command which follows the offending one. field: commands [ ... ]

I would appreciate any help. I have looked on the internet, and asked on #archlinux and #xmonad to no avail.
BTW I am running 64 bit Arch, with Xmonad, and xmobar from the community repo.

Thanks & Best,

Re: xmobar error

Please put your code in code tags to make it easier for people to read.

Well, it says line 18; which, if you are pasting everything in your file, means the  ,sepChar = "%" line.  I don't use xmobar anymore, but that line looks different from the others.  The comma (or period, my eyes suck right now) isn't spaced from the sepChar.

Sorry I don't know how to format code on forums, but I have pasted my code into pastebin:

       }

The error I get is:

error reading the commands: this usually menas that a command could not be parsed.
The error could be located at the beginning of the command which follows the offending one. field: commands [ ... ]

NB: I have moved/deleted the comma referenced above, and changed the double quotes to single quotes on the chars to only receive the same error.

Thanks for the help,
