May be you are affected by this. If you are using windows format try converting to unix.

ID 376894 - External data group files that have been edited on Microsoft Windows platforms can now be imported in their native format. Both Windows style (CRLF) as well as Unix/Linux style (LF) line endings are supported, so there is no longer a need to run these files through utilities to reformat line endings.

So, you can follow the file content like:

key_1,

key_2,

key_3,

ah yes .. loading data-group-file with windows-style line-endings is a familiar error i've encountered on many occasions -- i incorrectly assumed it was due to specifying a blank key-value separator ... so apparently, it's possible to load a "keys only" data-group-file while specifying a key-value separator that's not present
