I am 99.99% certain that you have uploaded at least one file in binary mode. I have only seen one instance in a year where the person got that message who got it for some other reason.

Delete all of the files from your server. Upload them again, being *absolutely certain* that every file is uploaded in ASCII mode. Do not use the "auto detect" feature of your ftp program. You must set it to upload only in ASCII mode.

You will also have to reset the permissions for the files.
