You probably had one of the illegal characters in the pdf name. You can
see what doesn't work at:

Yes, the original errors were "invalid format for the federal
identifier" and an "invalid name in a pdf file".  It didn't help that
the Commons help desk gave us conflicting (and incorrect) information
about the format of the federal identifier.

This is really Ripley's worthy.   Were your initial errors typical
stuff?

Something to add to the list of issues/strange occurrences:

On Friday we submitted an S10 application, and after three tries, it
was
accepted at NIH and the image was verified on Friday, March 17.
Yesterday (Tuesday, March 21!!!)we received an email that the
application had an error and has to be resubmitted.  When we looked at
the error listing in the Commons, it stated"
Please contact SRA for permission to submit corrections or
supplemental
material.- Error

."  When we called the help desk we were told that they had never seen
this error and will get back to us.
The application is still listed in the commons status screen as
verified.

Will pas on anything that we learn.
