Here is the command I'm getting along with the error it produces.  This is killing me so if anyone has any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it.

C:\gam>gam csv SPED_to_GAM.csv gam update user ~email password ~password >> SPEDStudent_Password_Log.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 9048, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\jlee\Documents\GitHub\GAM\src\build\gam\out00-PYZ.pyz\csv", line 107, in next
  File "C:\Users\jlee\Documents\GitHub\GAM\src\build\gam\out00-PYZ.pyz\csv", line 90, in fieldnames
_csv.Error: line contains NULL byte

Eric,

Does SPED_to_GAM.cv have any columns other than email and password? My guess is that there other columns with Unicode data which is tripping up GAM.

Can you confirm?

Doesn't matter what program I open the csv file in, it doesn't show any additional data.  I've opened the file in Notepad, Notepad++, and several other apps, all showing the file as not having any null bytes.  The csv file is created by PowerShell if that helps at all.

Also, I just updated GAM and reset all the permissions today, not that permissions would cause this, but wanted you to know I was on the latest version of GAM as of today.

Eric,

All of those programs know how to interpret Unicode. Make a copy of the file, strip out all of the data leaving just the header row.
Send that file as an attachment.

Here is a PowerShell script to get a hex dump: http://windowsitpro.com/powershell/get-hex-dumps-files-powershell
