Picard IlluminaBasecallsToSam: LIBRARY_PARAM file does not have column BARCODE (but it does)

Hi,

I am following the GATK pipeline and after running Picard CheckIlluminaDirectory and ExtractIlluminaBarcodes successfully, I encounter a problem to generate the BAM files with Illumina BasecallsToSam.

• Program versions:
  java version "1.8.0_77"
  picardy-tools-2.2.1

• My command:
  java -jar $HOME/bin/picard-tools-2.2.1/picard.jar IlluminaBasecallsToSam \
  B=/home/user31888/exome_run_1/Data/Intensities/BaseCalls/ \
  BARCODES_DIR=/home/user31888/exome_run_1/Results/ExtractIlluminaBarcodes/ \
  L=1 \
  RS=76T6B76T \
  LIBRARY_PARAMS=/home/user31888/exome_run_1/library_param.tab \
  RUN_BARCODE=exome_run_1

• 'library_param.tab':
  BARCODE OUTPUT SAMPLE_ALIAS LIBRARY_NAME
  CGATGT sample_1.bam sample_1 exome_run_1
  ACAGTG sample_2.bam sample_2 exome_run_1
  GCCAAT sample_3.bam sample_3 exome_run_1
  CAGATC sample_4.bam sample_4 exome_run_1
  CTTGTA sample_5.bam sample_5 exome_run_1

  at picard.cmdline.PicardCommandLine.main(PicardCommandLine.java:105)

The program does not see the first column BARCODE in the 'library_param.tab' file (same error message when placing the BARCODE column at the end of the file).

Is the format of the 'library_param.tab' correct?
I tried to change the end of line of the file just in case, but still the same problem.
Is it possible that the tab character could be faulty???
