band structure calculation, error KPOINTS

Dear all,

Each time I try to perform a band structure calculation for an CFC type lattice, it stopps quickly and I get this error message :

Error reading KPOINTS file
the error occured at line: 2

My KPOINTS is as following :
k-points along high symmetry lines
10 ! 10 intersections
Line-mode
rec

0 0 0 ! gamma
0 0.5 0 ! X

0 0.5 0 ! X
0.25 0.25 0.25 ! L

0.25 0.25 0.25 ! L
0.25 0.5 0 ! W

So, does anyone know where the problem really comes from ?

Thanks in advance !

Take out the space between rec and 0 0 0 ! gamma and it should run fine, the error is because there should not be a space here
